Natural & Organic Products Europe in London

Hambledon Herbs, Carley's of Cornwall, and Bramley and Gage are the latest organic food companies to reserve their stands at Natural & Organic Products Europe 2010, Europe’s leading natural product trade event. They, amongst others, will be exhibiting together within the new West Country Organic Pavilion at the two-day show, which is to be held from April 11 to 12, 2009 at Olympia, London. The launch of the West Country Organic Pavilion reflects the growing consumer demand for healthier, more sustainably-produced regional food; and, as the first fully regional pavilion in the show’s 14 year history, it is expected to prove a popular visitor draw. The Organic Trade Board will be making their debut at the show,taking a stand for the first year since it formed as the voice of the organic industry in July 2007. Organic food is also well-represented within the popular Soil Association Marketplace, which features a diverse mix of artisan food makers, farmers and enterprising start-ups offering quality local products. Industry stalwarts joining them, include the following wholesalers and distributors: Community Foods Ltd, Suma Wholefoods, The Health Store, Infinity Foods Wholesale, Doves Farm Foods, Queenswood Natural Foods, and Clearspring Ltd.  
 

In total, over 500 companies are expected to take part in Natural & Organic Products Europe 2010, the UK’s only dedicated trade event for natural and organic products. The show annually attracts trade buyers from across the world in their thousands, and over 8,000 attendees walked the aisles of Olympia last year alone. The international presence at the show remains as strong as ever for 2010, with pavilions from France, Italy, and Cyprus all offering visitors a chance to taste numerous organic specialties. Whilst the Organic Kitchen, has leading chefs, including Gillian McKeith and vegetarian guru Rose Elliot, demonstrating their own unique approaches to promoting and serving organic cuisine.
