What is NATEXPO 2026?
NATEXPO 2026 runs from September 28 to September 29, 2026 in France. It is one of the leading European trade shows dedicated to organic and natural products, covering organic food and drink, natural cosmetics, food supplements, eco-friendly household products and ingredients. The edition alternates between Lyon and Paris, so confirm the host city on the official NATEXPO website before booking.
What is NATEXPO 2026?
NATEXPO is a professional, trade-only event connecting organic and natural-product manufacturers with retailers, specialist organic chains, importers, distributors, pharmacies and foodservice buyers — mainly from France and the rest of Europe. Exhibitor categories include grocery, fresh and frozen, beverages, supplements, cosmetics, home care, and raw materials and ingredients.
For Indian organic food, spice, tea, superfood, essential-oil and natural-cosmetics exporters, NATEXPO is a targeted route into the European organic retail channel, which values certification (EU organic, COSMOS) and traceability.
