After a four-year hiatus, the world has finally bid a comprehensive farewell to the COVID-19 pandemic, and FOFCC once again dispatched personnel on a long journey to Germany to attend BIOFACH 2024, the International Organic Products Fair in Germany. On the second day of the first lunar month of the Jia Chen year, FOFCC exhibitors gave up their Spring Festival holiday and departed from Shenyang, flying to Germany to participate in BIOFACH 2024, organized by NürnbergMesse GmbH.

During the fair, FOFCC exhibitors visited the International Organic Accreditation Service (IOAS) to seek guidance on the new requirements and regulations following amendments to organic regulations in the European Union, Canada, and the United States. As an IOAS-accredited certification body, FOFCC has consistently strived to carry out certification activities for relevant organic standards in accordance with accreditation requirements.Artikel berasal dariFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/ms/23785/
FOFCC not only engaged in in-depth exchanges with numerous Chinese certified organizations, but also visited one by one the certified organizations from Brazil, Pakistan, Southeast Asian countries and regions, as well as numerous foreign organic producers interested in applying for Chinese organic certification. IBD and WECERT are important partners of FOFCC, and during the fair, FOFCC conducted mutual visits with them, reviewing together the gains and losses in the work process of the previous year, and reaching consensus on further deepening cooperation and improving work processes and efficiency in the next step, laying a solid foundation for carrying out work in 2024 under the new circumstances of changing international organic regulations.Artikel berasal dariFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/ms/23785/
As BIOFACH is a grand gathering of organic industry practitioners from around the world, representatives from various sectors held various presentations at the fair, sharing information on policy and regulatory changes, organic production experience, and organic product market dynamics. According to information FOFCC obtained from the fair, "The World of Organic Agriculture 2024: Statistics and Emerging Trends," compiled jointly by the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL) and IFOAM – Organics International (IFOAM-OI), was released at this year's fair. According to the latest survey data covering 188 countries and regions worldwide, despite slowed growth in certain European countries, retail sales of organic products still reached a remarkable 134.8 billion euros. The United States, Germany, and China led the global organic consumer market with 58.6 billion euros, 15.3 billion euros, and 12.4 billion euros respectively, marking the first time China has entered the top three of the global organic market. FOFCC returned triumphantly from this fair with abundant gains, rolling up its sleeves to continue striving for new achievements in 2024 and continuing to contribute its strength to the development of China's organic industry.Artikel berasal dariFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/ms/23785/
