BIOFACH 2025

Prodeca - Ministry of Climate Action, Food and Rural Agenda is organising the participation of Catalan companies at the Biofach trade fair, to be held in Nuremberg (Germany) from 11 to 14 February 2025.

TRADE FAIR DETAILS

Biofach is Europe's most important trade fair devoted exclusively to organic production. The last edition, in 2024, featured 2,550 exhibitors from 95 countries and 35,000 visitors from 128 countries.

Held annually, Biofach is not only a showcase for organic products but also a valuable forum for proposing alternatives to the current agro-industrial model.

To take part, all exhibitors must meet the strict admission criteria set by the event, so that taking part in the show is in itself a mark of distinction and quality for companies and products.

ORGANISATION OF THE STAND

Companies interested in taking part in BIOFACH 2024 may choose between the following forms of participation: 

Individual stand of approximately 12 m2,  including: 

• Storage
• 1 table
• 4 chairs
• 1 counter
• 1 stool
• Product display surface (shelving or display cabinet, depending on final design)
• Graphics (company logo and branding)

Double stand of approximately 24 m2, including:

• Storage
• 2 tables
• 8 chairs
• 2 counters
• 2 stools
• Product display surface (shelving or display cabinet, depending on final design) (x2)
• Graphics (company logo and branding) (x2)

The basic stand decoration will be the same for all companies. Within their own space, each exhibitor may use other promotional materials (vinyls, roll-ups, signage, etc.), provided these do not alter the overall look of the stand and are attached rather than nailed. Exhibitors must notify Prodeca in advance and bear the cost of installation.

Espai Catalunya (shared, open-plan), including: 

• 1 counter
• 1 stool
• 1 display cabinet 
• Graphics (company logo and branding)

The space will have a shared meeting area and storage.

Any company needing furniture or services not covered by the terms of the call must notify Prodeca sufficiently in advance so that proper provision can be made for both space and electrical capacity. Prodeca can provide a price list for hiring extra furniture to companies that request it. The cost of extras is always borne by the exhibiting company. Prodeca covers the cost of the connection and electricity consumption.

If a company brings furniture or electrical items that have not been notified to Prodeca in advance and these cause problems for the stand build or for the other participating companies, they will have to be removed.

Every participating company will be included in the fair catalogue.
