Ukraine is famous for its potential for organic farming. Notwithstanding the difficult political and economic situation, the market continues to develop rapidly. During 2014, organic exports have increased greatly. At BIOFACH 2015 in Nuremberg, Germany, from February 11 to 14, we offer you an interesting opportunity to become acquainted with the rapidly growing organic sector of Ukraine and explore new business opportunities.

(Frick, February 10, 2015) After the successful presence at BIOFACH 2014, where the Ukraine country pavilion sparked much general interest with its potential to meet much of the growing global demand for organic products, Ukraine will have its own country pavilion at BIOFACH for the second time.
