Duration: July 23rd – 31st, 2022

In recent years, the leading international trade fair for organic products Biofach has attracted over 50,000 international visitors and more than 3,000 exhibitors from ca. 90 countries annually. After transitioning to a smaller scale digital edition last year due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the fair will physically return to the halls of Messe Nuremberg from July 26th to July 29th, 2022.

Cambodia with its high-quality agricultural and niche products is especially well suited for organic production. The trade fair represents an ideal opportunity for Cambodian producers of agricultural and food & beverage-related products to better understand the potential of the organic market in Europe and connect with German and international buyers – both conventional and organic.

Scope
The 7-day program of the Business Delegation Visit in Germany encompasses a two-day visit to the trade fair Biofach (including talks with selected buyers and exhibitors) and a preparatory one-day training on trade fair participation, as well as on trends in the German Food & Beverage sector including an overview of associated buyers & importers. In the four days following the trade fair visit, meetings with German buyers, buyer cooperatives and related business associations in selected German cities will be held.

Target Group
Applications are open to all Cambodian companies producing products related to the sectors agro-processing, food & beverage, and agriculture in general who are interested in finding European buyers. Availability of / interest in organic certification is a plus but not a requirement. Companies able to produce product volumes sufficient for major German buyers will be given preference. Up to 10 representatives from Cambodian companies will be able to take part in the program.
