| CLOSING REPORT
20th BioFach welcomed 46,771 birthday guests
The international share of visitors was 38 % and the buyers came from 129 countries: after Germany, mainly from Austria, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Denmark. The visitors were impressed by the rich, enjoyable and creative products from the 2,744* exhibitors, of whom two-thirds were international. As always, Germany was strongly represented with 941 exhibitors, followed by Italy (394), Spain (205), France (181) and Austria (104).
The visitors were also delighted again after the four days of the exhibition: 98 % were satisfied with the products and service and 86 % wanted to visit the world’s leading exhibition again in 2010.
Some 40 % of the visitors again came from the trade, headed by organic food shops (11.4 %), followed by the wholesale trade and conventional retail food trade. Many manufacturers, industrial caterers and the hotel and catering trade also gathered information at BioFach. When visitors are asked about their reasons for visiting, interest in new products is traditionally clearly the main reason. 70 % of the visitors want to include the innovations seen at the exhibition in their own range – alone the novelty stands at BioFach and Vivaness presented altogether 430 new products. Other reasons for visiting are market orientation, information exchange, training, preparing the ground for and cultivating business contacts, observing the competition and concluding contracts.
