Promotion of organic products and sustainable value chains are main fields of the Thai-German Programme for Enterprise Competitiveness.
The aim is to achieve higher market share for international certified (e.g. Naturland, IFOAM) organic products. Participation in the world's largest fair for organic products, the BioFach, is one of the activities of the programme to establish business relationships between producers, processors and their international clients and partners.
Special attention at the Biofach is given to: longan, shrimp, saa-paper and bio-plastics. In addition to the fair, a Thai delegation of counterpartners will get an insight into the practice of organic agro-industry in the region of Nuremberg.
To present the organic products at the Biofach 2007, GTZ Thailand has coordinated with Department of Fisheries, Office of Agricultural Economics (Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives), the Thai National Innovation Agency and GreenNet Cooperative. A Thai shrimp farm is presenting jointly at the exhibition area around Naturland, a large German certification association for organic products.
