Points of interest from Biofach 2023
The main purpose of participating in Biofach 2023 exhibition is to maintain Indonesia’s presence as one of the international suppliers of organic products. In addition, it is also in order to take advantage of the opportunity for supply chain distortions for most countries in Europe as a result of the Russian and Ukrainian wars and the high desire to switch from their suppliers in China.

As well as meeting for business discussions, the momentum of Biofach 2023 is also used to update trends and innovations that have occurred and will occur in the organic sector.
