Ukraine was once again represented with a strong presence at Biofach this year. A total of 25 companies from across Ukraine presented their products on the 180 square meter stand. The stand was representative of the wide range of organic products that are produced and processed in Ukraine. These include agricultural raw materials such as grain and sunflowers, berries, other fruits or honey. But also many processed goods such as vegetable specialties, baby food or high-quality chocolate. Plus dairy products, herbs or seeds. The organic companies came from all over Ukraine despite Russia's ongoing war of aggression. Some of the Ukrainian exhibitors are located in regions that are subject to attacks by the Russian army almost every day.
