BIoFach India 2009

India’s agriculture has long-lasting traditional links to organic farming. Nature friendly farming systems such as mixed farming, mixed cropping and crop rotation have been practiced in India for generations. The variety of climate zones enables this large subcontinent to grow an outstanding selection of products from teas and coffees, to spices, nuts, fruits, grains and vegetables. In a world where consumers are increasingly aware of what they eat and consume, quality becomes a key issue and a unique selling proposition. In that respect the National Program for Organic Production (NPOP) paves the way to make India a key player in the organic business. Several states in India have either declared themselves as organic states or are promoting organic farming and production vigorously. India is also one of the fastest growing economies in the world . In India’s mega-cities like Mumbai and Delhi this is leading to higher purchasing power and to consumers aiming to select higher quality in their daily food and personal care consumption. BioFach – the world organic trade fair is proud to launch BioFach India in Mumbai 2009!
