Defining the New Organic Era: BIOFACH CHINA 2027 Celebrates Its 20th Edition

From 25–27 May 2027, BIOFACH CHINA — the Asian International Organic Products Expo — will mark a significant milestone at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Centre (Hall 3): two decades of connecting the organic world to China, the world's third-largest organic consumer market. To celebrate, the show enters its 20th edition with a refreshed identity and a bold new theme: "Defining the New Organic Era.

Twenty Years of Growth

Founded in 2007 as the Chinese edition of BIOFACH, the world's leading trade fair for organic food, BIOFACH CHINA has grown alongside one of the fastest-evolving organic markets anywhere. The numbers tell the story: in 2025, China's organic product sales surpassed RMB 152.2 billion (approximately USD 21 billion), up 22% year on year, according to the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR). Since 2022, China has ranked as the world's third-largest organic consumer market.

Just as telling is how the market has matured. Processed organic products now account for more than 90% of sales, with dairy, alcoholic beverages and infant food holding over 70% of the market. Organic has moved from a niche preference to an everyday choice for Chinese households — a transformation BIOFACH CHINA has both witnessed and helped to shape.

A Gateway Between China and the World

From its very first edition, BIOFACH CHINA was designed as a bridge. Operating as Asia's leading professional B2B organic trade platform, it has brought together domestic producers, international exhibitors, professional buyers and industry experts under one roof — and its reach keeps expanding.

China's appetite for imports is real and measurable. Official industry reports list milk powder, UHT milk, grain products and red wine among the major imported categories, with demand steadily extending into deeply processed products. To enter the market, overseas organic products must obtain China Organic Certification, and China's mutual-recognition arrangements continue to lower the barriers for international producers.

This is why the 2027 edition matters. For producers around the world, BIOFACH CHINA is not merely a trade show; it is the most direct route into China's rapidly growing organic market and a window onto buyers across Asia.

2027: A Celebration and a New Beginning

The 20th edition will take place 25–27 May 2027 at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Centre (Hall 3), co-located with NATURAL EXPO CHINA, the Asian International Natural Products Expo. Under the theme "Defining the New Organic Era," the show debuts a refreshed brand identity: a new logo built on the number 20, its interwoven roots symbolizing two decades of deep cultivation in the Chinese market, and blue-green hues representing vitality and the future.

The previous edition gathered 205 exhibitors and 12,757 professional visitors, including international pavilions from Germany, Bulgaria and the Philippines, and visitors from Canada, Indonesia, Russia, the United States, Singapore, Malaysia and Turkey — a truly international gathering, and one that keeps growing. For 2027, the show will bring together the full organic value chain — from raw materials and primary produce to deeply processed foods and organic lifestyle products — providing a complete sourcing and cross-industry collaboration platform.
