The domestic markets for organic food in Latin America are presenting strong development. Brazil's 50% annual growth rate is an example of this promising market.

The BioFach América Latina Conference aims
to support these emerging markets, as a unique discussion and information platform for the organic sector in Latin America. The first BioFach Conference in Brazil, in 2003 at Rio de Janeiro, exceeded all expectations with 1.216 conference participants! BioFach América Latina 2004 had 2,000 visitors and the 2005 edition counted 3,755 participants per day. In 2006, when the show was held in São Paulo for the first time, 6,000 visitors attended it. For 2007 a greater growing success is expected!

Simultaneous translations in English and Portuguese will be available in some rooms.
