Northeast India organic produce BioFach 2025 is the headline story at this year’s premier organic trade fair, held in Greater Noida from August 30 to September 1. Spearheaded by the Union Agriculture Ministry, this showcase is a powerful testament to India’s commitment to sustainable agriculture and rural empowerment.
With over 27 Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) participating, the Northeast is stepping into the spotlight—bringing its rich biodiversity and chemical-free harvest to a global audience.
Why Northeast India Is the Heart of India’s Organic Future
The Northeast region, with its pristine landscapes and traditional farming practices, has long been a cradle for organic cultivation. Through the Mission Organic Value Chain Development for North Eastern Region (MOVCDNER), the government has empowered thousands of farmers to transition to organic farming, creating a ripple effect across the country.
At BioFach India 2025, 27 Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) from states like Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, and Tripura are showcasing their finest organic products, including:
- Large cardamom from Sikkim
- Queen pineapple from Tripura
- Kiwi from Arunachal Pradesh
- Turmeric from Meghalaya
- Ginger from Nagaland
- GI-tagged fruits and spices unique to the region
These products are not only certified organic but also represent the cultural and ecological heritage of the Northeast.
BioFach India 2025—A Global Platform for Local Excellence
BioFach India, the country’s leading organic trade fair, is part of the globally renowned BioFach series. It brings together producers, buyers, policymakers, and sustainability advocates under one roof. This year’s edition is particularly significant for the Northeast, as it marks the largest-ever participation from the region.
Government’s Strategic Push
The Union Agriculture Ministry’s initiative is aimed at:
- Promoting organic exports from the Northeast
- Connecting FPOs with national and international buyers
- Enhancing brand visibility for regional products
- Encouraging value addition and processing
According to a ministry spokesperson, “The Northeast is not just a geographic region—it’s a green powerhouse. By showcasing its organic potential, we’re opening doors for global partnerships and rural prosperity.”
Empowering Farmers, Elevating Communities
The MOVCDNER scheme has transformed the lives of over 85,000 farmers across the Northeast. By providing training, certification, and market access, the program has helped farmers shift from subsistence to surplus.
Real Stories from the Ground
Take the example of Rina Devi, a turmeric farmer from Meghalaya. “Before MOVCDNER, I sold my produce locally at low prices. Now, I’m part of an FPO and my turmeric is being exported to Europe,” she says with pride.
These success stories are being shared at BioFach India 2025 through interactive sessions, product demos, and digital showcases.
Sustainability Meets Profitability
Organic farming isn’t just good for the planet—it’s increasingly profitable. With rising global demand for clean, traceable food, Northeast India’s organic produce is finding buyers in Germany, UAE, Japan, and the US.
The fair also features discussions on:
- Climate-resilient agriculture
- Organic certification processes
- Digital tools for traceability
- Export logistics and compliance
What’s Next for Northeast India’s Organic Movement?
The Agriculture Ministry plans to expand MOVCDNER to cover 100,000 hectares by 2026, with a focus on:
- Agri-tech integration
- Cold chain infrastructure
- E-commerce partnerships
This vision aligns with India’s broader goals under the National Mission on Sustainable Agriculture and the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative.
