India holds a unique position among 172 countries practicing Organic agriculture; India grew the highest in the world (in absolute terms) by adding about 3.6 lakh hectares of organic land. Along with the exhibition, the accompanying international conference with specific popular topics will give deeper insights into the industries latest trends and developments. A major highlight of the event would be the premiere launch of MILLETS INDIA 2022 – an international trade fair and conference for millet-based products.

As we all know, BIOFACH India is India’s largest international trade fair for organic farming products and India's biggest platform for the organic industry where excellent business deals are made. We, the Organic Farming Association of India (OFAI) always feel proud and honoured to represent Organic Farmers and organise Farmer’s Market here for the fifth time in line at the 14th edition of BIOFACH India.
OFAI is the largest and one of the oldest associations of practicing organic farmers and organic farming associations in India. The organization promotes organic farming among farmers and makes various efforts in bringing governments attention in policy making in favour of organic farming. OFAI organises national convention with active participation from organic farmers, agri-entrepreneurs, various organisations and agencies working on agriculture, folk seed savours, and organic consumers in every two years. OFAI plays very active role in international organisations such as Inter-continental Network of Organic Farmers Organisations (INOFO) and IFOAM Organics International.
India has always had a rich and prosperous farming history in terms of the various indigenous crop varieties found here. The traditional food and farming practices evolved here facilitate farmers in making farming self-sustainable and environment friendly.
Organic farming is spreading more and more in India every year. India is the largest organic producer in the world today. There are 15, 99,010 organic producers while 2.65 million hectares of land in India today is under organic farming. If wild resources are also added, this comes to about 4.33 million hectares
At BIOFACH India 2022 OFAI is bringing forward genuine organic farmers from various parts of India at the “Farmers Market and Farmer’s Conference”. We are sure that BIOFACH will not just help farmers in connecting with the global audience but will also be an effective learning and knowledge sharing platform.
We invite you all to come and embrace the warm welcome and hospitality of extraordinary men and women who are the flag bearers of the organic farming revolution in India. Thanks, and best wishes to the Organizers and the Partners for the successful event.
Note: According to the bylaws of the association, the President of the Organic Farming Association of India is always a practicing organic farmer!
"The organic movement and organic market are on the move globally. We are now 3, 4 million farmers bringing food, fiber, diversity and health to 75 million hectares of land, and to hundreds of thousands of communities. We now have more than 18 countries with more than 10 percent of their arable land under organic production – and that’s only certified production, not including the millions of hectares more where farmers are using organic practices but are not certified. At the same time the global market for organic produce and products rounded 120 billion Euros, up 14 billion from the year before.
IFOAM Organics International has been supporting the development of the organic sector for 50 years. Through this experience we recognize the vital role of growing the market and engaging with all parts of the value chain if we are to scale organic sufficiently to capitalize on its benefits for combating climate change, biodiversity loss and supporting farmer livelihoods. This is why IFOAM Organics International values its partnership with BIOFACH World which plays such an important role connecting organic marketplaces with international demand in 8 key economic regions of the world, including here in India, and in promoting the development of regional markets at the same time. It’s a partnership that has benefits for the whole organic sector.”
