Inventive, innovative, and authentic, the organic food brands exhibiting at Natexpo illustrate the dynamism of this growing market. The organic food market more than quadrupled between 2005 and 2016, growing from approximately €1,5 billion to over €7 billion. Organic product sales in the first six months of 2017 exceeded those of the first half of 2016 by €500 million. Today, nearly 7 out of 10 French people consume organic products at least once a month, and more than 8 out of 10 believe that the development of this production method is important.

Focus on some exhibitors in the sector:
Jean martin
Based in Maussane-les-Alpilles, in the heart of Provence, for nearly a century, Jean Martin creates 100% natural and authentic canned recipes based on Mediterranean vegetables and olives. With its organic range and seasonal vegetables, the brand is increasingly committed to local sourcing and respecting the environment by offering recipes free from artificial colors, preservatives, palm oil, additives, GMOs, and allergens.
Jean Martin chooses products that respect the living conditions of producers and affirms its CSR and local commitment through the Entrepreneurs plus engagés label.
Label d'Oc
Founded over 3 years ago, Label d'Oc is a cannery serving local producers in Occitanie. By combining its expertise with that of regional producers, it enables it to enhance surpluses and showcase their products. Since 2017, Label d'Oc has also offered an inventive 7/e range (they're the producers) that combines an activist approach with the flavorful benefits of homemade cuisine. This range is guaranteed to be additive-free and is made from raw materials sourced exclusively from Occitanie.
Larché Brewery
For over 20 years, Brasserie Larché has been brewing high-fermentation craft beers refermented in the bottle, using Yonne honey.
In March 2018, the brand launched a new gluten-free lager, produced using 100% organic ingredients.
Brasserie Larché will present it for the first time at Natexpo 2018.
Marie de Mazet
Marie de Mazet has been a producer of organic medicinal plants in the Cévennes for over 20 years.
Before the farm was established in 1995, the estate was not cultivated, and the land has always remained free of any chemical inputs. Weeding and harvesting are done by hand. Marie de Mazet offers infusions, herbal teas, drinks, floral waters, and artisanal jams made from organic red fruits and plants.
