BioNord in Hamburg has established itself as an important trade and order fair for northern Germany. Around 300 exhibitors from the fields of organic food, natural cosmetics, sustainable household goods, natural fashion, and ecological beverages present their latest products to an interested trade audience. The event is deliberately kept compact, bringing together manufacturers, retailers, restaurateurs, natural food stores, and nature-conscious consumers, and offering space for targeted business deals, product presentations, and professional exchange.
The trade fair covers everything from certified organic products to sustainable packaging and fair trade offerings. New products such as plant-based spreads, vegan confectionery, and special natural cosmetic products will be presented, as well as classics such as cheese and sausage varieties from certified organic production. In addition, there will be topics such as unpackaged shopping, recyclable packaging solutions, and supply chains in terms of regionality and resource conservation. BioNord supports targeted contact between suppliers and buyers from health food stores, organic shops, farm shops, and the catering sector on an equal footing.
Proximity to regional producers is a key advantage of BioNord. Organic farms in northern Germany present their philosophy, explain ecological cultivation and processing methods, and invite visitors to tastings. This regional focus creates trust – direct contact between producers and retailers is becoming increasingly important, especially in the growing natural food industry. The trade fair therefore sees itself not only as an ordering platform, but also as a mediator between regional production and sustainable consumption.
BioNord makes optimal use of Hamburg's role as a proximity and gray market to the Scandinavian organic region: food retailers, representatives from the organic catering and hotel industries, and buyers from discount stores are regularly represented and use the trade fair to find out about product trends, find delivery partners, and expand their portfolios. The event is also a meeting place for entrepreneurs and start-ups who want to bring their innovative organic products to market – such as fermented bars, organic energy drinks, or edible insect products from organic farming. This innovation is deliberately promoted: the platform creates visibility and opportunities for cooperation with established trading companies.
Accompanying the trade fair, BioNord offers a compact program of specialist presentations. Topics include organic certification, regional marketing, sustainable packaging systems, and price calculation in the organic trade. Experts such as organic inspectors, industry associations, and market researchers share their knowledge and stimulate discussion. The lecture series attracts experts from the food industry, natural food retailers, and the catering industry in particular – a format that deepens specialist knowledge and facilitates discussion. Anyone interested in finding out more about other sustainable trade fairs and nutrition topics in the region can find a comprehensive overview at Hamburg Trade Fair.
BioNord is more than a trade fair—it is a platform for best practices and ideas for a sustainable circular economy. Many exhibitors show how the circular economy can be implemented along the value chain: this starts with environmentally conscious cultivation, continues with transport and logistics with short distances, and ends with biodegradable packaging materials. For many visitors, ideas become tangible that influence business models such as catering and retail as well as private consumer behavior.
The trade fair creates space for business deals between start-ups and sales representatives, for collaborations between agricultural businesses and catering companies, and for dialogue between producers and packaging manufacturers. Even smaller businesses use the fairness of the platform to establish contacts at the federal level and further develop their product range—a prime example of sustainable economic growth in regional activity.
BioNord in Hamburg stands for authenticity, regional expertise, and technical depth in the organic sector. It connects producers, retailers, and end consumers, promotes innovation, and strengthens the link between green business and conscious consumption. Within the organic community, it is an important event that provides guidance—especially for those who want to expand their product range, test new products, or invest in innovation.
