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.

representatives.
