Organic Products
The organically farmed area and the consumption of organic products are growing worldwide. This type of products is one of the few in the food sector that still has a growth rate of 5-10% per year. Furthermore, export of organic products entails more employment in rural regions. SIPPO supports companies in particular in the area of capacity building and sustainability. Participation at the biggest organic trade show, Biofach, is the main focus of the programme. New companies will be sourced from 2008 onwards for a three year participation. The main products selected in the SIPPO programme are fresh fruits and vegetables as well as food ingredients, coffee, cocoa and tea.
