BioFach 2007: Busier than ever



BioFach is over and a few days have passed. It was the fourth time we had a joint Finnish stand at BioFach and definately the busiest so far. Until now Saturday at BioFach has been relatively calm giving some possibility to get off the stand and make a tour in other halls. Now that kind of breaks didn't come before Sunday.

This time we were 5 companies from the Organic Food Finland export group: Finnamyl, Helsinki Mills, Kankaisten Öljykasvit, Kiantama and Maustaja. As a typical feature of 2006/07 two important products: potato starch and oat flakes were already out of stock. Wild berry products from Kiantama and ketchup and Napapiiri jams from Maustaja seemed to be drawing the most attention. We received a few orders and a lot of follow-up work to be done by myself and Lhassan (right in the picture).

There is definately nothing that can be compared to BioFach. Still also local shows are necessary - see you at Natural Products Europe in London in April.
