| BioFach América Latina The fifth BioFach América Latina and the third Expo Sustentat will be held from 16. – 18. October 2007 at the Transamerica Expo Center in São Paulo. The organizers of both trade fairs, Nürnberg Global Fairs, its Brazilian partner, Planeta Orgânico, and Organic Services, are this year once again expecting around 300 exhibitors. A special highlight of the comprehensive congress programme will be the BioTrade Forum. This event is being held in cooperation with the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). The positive economic trend in the organic products sector is clearly reflected in the growing interest of exhibitors at BioFach América Latina and Expo Sustentat: the exhibition space at São Paulo's Transamerica Expo Center has grown by almost one third compared to the previous year and is already nearly fully booked two months before the start of the fair. With their products, export-interested European and international companies can help to close the product range gaps in the Brazilian and Latin American trade. With the Expo Sustentat fair, Planeta Orgânico, Nürnberg Global Fairs and Organic Services, in cooperation with the German Investment and Development Corporation (DEG), already launched a qualified platform for sustainability projects in 2005. Fair-traded products, produce from small farmers' projects and alternative concepts in the areas of sustainable, self-replenishing raw materials, sustainable forest and fishing management as well as eco tourism are all established sectors at Expo Sustentat. For many projects the trade fair participation opens up the possibility, for the first time, of entering the market and obtaining specialist further training. The BioFach América Latina and Expo Sustentat support programme is once again set to become a comprehensive further training event: international experts and specialists will present trends, market developments and perspectives. Within the framework of Expo Sustentat, BioTrade, an initiative created by UNCTAD, will shed light on and take a more in-depth look at the themes of bio diversity and ethics in the trade. Examples of this can be found among others in the Sala Andes-Amazônia and Nordeste-Cerrado exhibition sectors. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Exhibition News :: home page |
