BioFach India celebrates its premiere in the Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai, in spring 2009. The youngest member of the international BioFach family was officially presented to representatives from the Indian organic sector at the end of 2008. Representatives from Nürnberg Global Fairs, the international subsidiary of NürnbergMesse, presented the concept of the world-leading exhibition for organic and natural products at a reception at the Indo-German Chamber of Commerce in New Delhi. India is the third BioFach location in Asia after Japan and China. The subcontinent could become another top venue for the organic world. The country is rich in organic raw materials. According to estimates by the International Competence Centre for Organic Agriculture, ICCOA, which together with IFOAM is the patron of BioFach India, the organic farming area could grow to 2 million ha by 2012.
