BIOFACH CHINA is the premier organic trade fair for China and the greater Asian market, held annually in Shanghai. Organised by NürnbergMesse China, the 2024 edition will run from 26 to 28 August at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center, combining a three-day in-person exhibition with a condensed digital programme. More than 350 exhibitors from over 20 countries and regions are expected, occupying 18,000 m² of net space and projecting 15,000 professional visits. The event is co-located with NATURAL EXPO CHINA, creating a 30,000 m² showcase for certified organic food, beverages, ingredients, cosmetics, textiles, services and processing technology. Parallel to the stands, a two-track conference programme endorsed by IFOAM – Organics International addresses regulators, certifiers, producers, importers and retailers. Confirmed speakers include Dr. Markus Arbenz, former IFOAM Executive Director; Zhou Zhehui, Deputy Director of the China Organic Certification Centre; and top executives from Biofarm, Wholly Moly!, Joyvio, Walmart China and Alibaba Tmall. Daily keynotes dissect China’s new national organic standards, carbon-labelling pilots and e-commerce traceability tools, while specialist workshops cover soil health, supply-chain resilience and consumer trust after the pandemic. A start-up pitch, the “Organic Retailer Tour” and guided tasting sessions introduce new products to buyers from Hema, Ole’, Carrefour and METRO. The 2024 slogan “Organic Positive Impact” highlights the sector’s contribution to biodiversity, rural revitalisation and climate targets; organisers will publish a joint report with Nanjing Agricultural University quantifying these benefits. Visitor registration is free for trade professionals until 9 August; students and NGOs receive discounted passes. BIOFACH CHINA remains the gateway for foreign brands seeking authorised entry into the world’s fastest-growing organic market and for Chinese producers aiming to meet rising domestic demand for safe, traceable and sustainable products.
