The Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, is organising BIOFACH INDIA 2026 from 6 to 8 August at the India Expo Centre and Mart in Greater Noida in partnership with Nuernberg Messe India. The exhibition serves as a key platform for stakeholders in the organic, natural and sustainable food sectors to explore business opportunities, exchange knowledge and strengthen trade partnerships.
More than 200 companies are participating in this year’s event, including over 60 exhibitors at the APEDA Pavilion. The pavilion features exporters, women entrepreneurs, Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs), Farmer Producer Companies (FPCs), startups and organic enterprises showcasing a wide range of certified organic products from states including Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura, Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand and Maharashtra.
The display highlights India’s growing strength in certified organic production with products ranging from cereals, pulses, millets, spices, tea, coffee, fresh fruits and vegetables to processed foods, herbs, medicinal plants, oilseeds, edible oils, honey, cocoa products, natural ingredients, nutraceuticals and other value-added food products.
To support export growth, APEDA has facilitated the participation of more than 35 international buyers from 13 countries, including Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Mongolia and Egypt. Buyers representing importers, distributors, wholesalers and retail chains are taking part in structured buyer seller meetings with Indian exhibitors to explore sourcing opportunities, build long term partnerships and strengthen export linkages.
The three day exhibition also includes technical conferences, product demonstrations and knowledge sessions focusing on organic certification, traceability, sustainability, consumer trends, market access and global trade opportunities. These discussions are designed to help exporters better understand international quality standards, regulatory requirements and evolving market expectations.
