BIOFACH Exhibitor List | Organic Food Supplier Guide

BIOFACH Exhibitor List

BIOFACH is the world’s leading trade fair for organic food, bringing together certified organic producers, processors, importers, distributors and buyers across the international organic value chain.

The BIOFACH exhibitor list helps specialist importers, supermarket sourcing teams, food manufacturers, private-label buyers and food-service professionals discover organic food suppliers, ingredient providers, natural cosmetics brands and service companies. The exhibition returns to the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg from 16–19 February 2027.

For professional buyers, the exhibitor list is a starting point for supplier discovery, product research and certification verification. For exhibitors, discovery is only the beginning of a broader evaluation process involving organic certification validity, food safety, traceability documentation, commercial readiness, supply reliability and long-term partnership credibility.

Trade fairs create discovery. Continuous professional presence helps build trust while buyers continue verifying certification and supply capability.
