The International Green Week (IGW) is a one-of-a-kind international exhibition for the food, agricultural, and horticultural industries. Established in 1926 it will take place for the 75th time in 2010 and welcome its 30 millionth visitor.



Producers from all over the world use the IGW to test-market food and luxury items and establish a brand image. Exhibitors often organize around national, regional, or product themes. Presentations feature fresh produce, fish, meats, and dairy products. These combine with a vast selection of international wine, beer, and spirits specialties, to satisfy every culinary palate. Right in line with consumer trends, the IGW also includes direct agricultural sales and the BIO MARKT organic products section.



The IGW also features commercial and non-commercial agricultural, forestry, and landscaping exhibits. Changing annual themes typically include such topics as renewable resources or scientific livestock breeding and production. These trade show elements are of particular interest to those involved in the developing markets of central and Eastern Europe.



More than 300 symposia, seminars, forums, committee meetings, etc. took place during the IGW. Some events are held over a period of days. Participants include a range of commercial and governing bodies from the agricultural and food industries: the International conference of the Agricultural Ministers with 1400 participants, the International Agricultural Policy Forum with 800 participants, as well as congress forums on agriculture, livestock breeding, and industrial/energy crops.
