A wide offering to give your meals a makeover
This 2020 edition confirmed Natexpo’s positioning as a premium meeting place for exchange and new discoveries in the organic sector and once again illustrated the sector’s strong dynamism, bringing together 7,965 organic professionals over the two days of the show.
This exceptional edition notably welcomed nearly 200 companies who took part in the show for the first time, alongside major players in the organic sector.
The exhibition offered the sector’s professionals an all-round view of current organic developments.
Natexpo offered an opportunity for young companies to showcase their solutions and concepts to meet the challenges of the organic sector, revealing young talent and accelerating their growth. In France, the organic food market is enjoying spectacular success, which has been further confirmed with the recent lockdowns. Organic foodstuffs gained 8% of new buyers during this period.[1] This category is buzzing with innovation and was once again well-represented this year at the show.
