Strong Turkish participation on Biofach

20 Turkish companies will be present at this event, held for the 28th time after Fruit Logistica, which has just closed its doors with a record participation, this year.

For the first time the participation will be significant, because Turkey will take part with a national pavilion organized by the Union of Aegean exporters, whose members are the leading exporters of Turkish organic products.

Exporters of organic products have begun to participate meaningfully in this trade show since 2015, first with 13 companies, then with 16, but this year the organization in a national pavilion shows that Turkey is aware of the importance of this sector, and it approaches this market with more and more organization.

The Vice President of the Union points out that organic products are not only agricultural, but also others from different sectors.

With an annual value of exports amounted to about 400 million dollars, the organic products industry in Turkey - says the Vice President Tarakçıoğlu - aims to achieve 2.5 billion dollars in 2023.

Turkey is hoping to benefit from a market that currently stands at 72 billion dollars and is expanding day by day, by participating in this event that is becoming increasingly important, and by offering products with the organic label certification.
