BioOst Leipzig

BioOst is an annual regional trade fair for the organic retail sector, held since 2013 with a clear focus on eastern Germany. It is organised by Matthias Deppe und Wolfram Müller OHG . Established in 2013, the event has quickly become a fixture in the organic industry’s calendar.

The fair takes place at Messe Leipzig, a modern exhibition venue in one of Germany’s most dynamic cities. Once a year, the site becomes a key meeting point for manufacturers, retailers, foodservice professionals and industry decision-makers. It is where new products are launched, business relationships are strengthened and fresh market momentum is generated.

BioOst positions itself as a specialised ordering and information platform for quality-driven organic retailers. The core focus is on organic food and nutrition, ranging from fresh fruit and vegetables to bakery products, honey and beverages, as well as innovative value-added product lines. The portfolio also includes natural cosmetics and organic health and wellness products, alongside regional specialities such as wines, beekeeping products and artisan cheeses. In addition to reflecting current market trends, the fair actively sets its own. Sustainability, innovative production methods, transparent supply chains and future-oriented retail strategies are central themes of the accompanying conference programme.

A defining feature of BioOst is its strong emphasis on personal exchange. As a trade-only event, it is exclusively geared towards professional visitors. Companies from the organic retail sector, health food retail and organic foodservice present their products in a professional environment designed to facilitate efficient networking. Expert talks, panel discussions and themed networking sessions deliver practical insights, covering everything from market developments and category management to positioning strategies in the growing organic market.

Most visitors come from organic retail, health food retail and organic foodservice. In addition, trade associations, specialist journalists and political decision-makers use the event as a forum for dialogue on sector-specific developments and for shaping the future of the green economy. BioOst therefore serves not only as a marketplace, but also as a platform for opinion-forming and innovation in eastern Germany.

Choosing Leipzig as the host city underlines the fair’s regional focus. Recognised as a major economic and cultural hub in central Germany, the city offers excellent transport links via motorways, long-distance rail services and Leipzig/Halle Airport. The modern exhibition centre provides the infrastructure required for an event of this scale. By combining sector expertise with strong regional roots and national relevance, BioOst creates a clearly structured and efficient setting each year for the continued advancement of the organic retail trade.

The BioOst takes place annually, and therefore for the 12th time previsibly in April 2027 in Leipzig.
