The 4th International conference on the organic sector development in Central/Eastern European and Central Asian countries will be held in parallel to the organic trade fair Ecology Izmir, providing participants the chance for B2B meetings as well as for traders to join the conference.

This year’s conference will focus on organic farming and how to maintain and improve its integrity. Quality assurance in production, processing and trade, residue monitoring, anti fraud activities, traceability as well as education and training regarding these issues will be conference themes. As Turkey is one of the leading organic cotton and textile producers, sustainable textiles will be included in the conference.
