With only seven stands left to fill, exhibition space for the first Nordic Organic Food Fair is on track to sell out well over a month before its October launch event, says event organiser Diversified Business Communications UK.<\/p>\n

The latest companies to confirm their presence in Malm\u00f6, Sweden, on 20-21 October are Swedish importer Olivlunden and Mitroulis Winery, based in Northern Greece. They\u2019ll be bringing a taste of the Mediterranean to the exhibitor line-up, which now includes 83 organic food and drink producers and suppliers from 13 different countries.<\/p>\n

No stranger to international events (having already hosted the Eurovision Song Contest in May), Malm\u00f6Mass\u00e4n\u2019s halls will once again be buzzing with the sights and sounds (not to mention the aromas and flavours) of healthy international competition. As hundreds of organic food and drink products from Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Poland, Spain, Sweden, The Netherlands, the UK and the USA via for a position on the menus and store shelves of the show\u2019s visiting retailers and foodservice professionals from across Scandinavia (and beyond).<\/p>\n

The show\u2019s strong exhibitor uptake \u2013 particularly from outside Scandinavia \u2013 reflects the important role that this region now plays in many international company\u2019s expansion strategies. With many looking to fill the significant \u2013 and growing \u2013 demands for organic food from countries like Sweden, where imports account for around 50% of organic sales.<\/p>\n

Indeed, many organic advocates believe that the organic food market in Scandinavia has never looked healthier. The latest figures from Organic Denmark indict that 400 restaurants, caf\u00e9s, and canteens are now displaying its Organic Eating Label (Det \u00d8kologiske Spisem\u00e6rke). Sweden\u2019s KRAV (the country\u2019s best known eco-labels for organic food) says that there are now around 800 KRAV-certified restaurants. One of the largest supermarket chains in Norway \u2013 Kiwi \u2013 reported 145 percent increases in organic food sales so far this year (compared to the same time in 2012). And, whilst the market is notably smaller in Finland, it too is continuing to enjoy 50% year-on-year growth in organic food sales.<\/p>\n

Widespread international interest in the show has also prompted the launch of another new pavilion \u2013 hosted by marketing association Agrarmarketing Mecklenburg-Vorpommern e. V, which will be promoting organic food and drink products from the Mecklenburg-West Pomerania region in North-eastern Germany. It joins previously announced pavilions from the UK\u2019s Soil Association, Biodynamic Demeter, and KRAV.<\/p>\n

Jarste Weuffen, Agrarmarketing Mecklenburg-Vorpommern e.V\u2019s managing director, believes that the launch is \u201cperfect\u201d for promoting the \u201cdiverse organic products\u201d of its members. Adding that the decision to exhibit at the new launch would strength and \u201cgrow our [member companies\u2019] trading links in Scandinavia\u201d.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a view shared by many of the show\u2019s pavilion participants, including Lee Holdstock, trade relations manager at Soil Association Certification (the UK\u2019s largest organic certification body).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re proud to support the Nordic Organic Food Fair. Our presence there will form a key part of our Export Support Program, helping UK Soil Association symbol holders access new markets in the Nordic region,\u201d explains Holdstock.\n<\/p>\n
