With the transposition of Directive (EU) 2020/2184 through Legislative Decree No. 102 of June 19, 2025, the regulatory framework on the quality of water intended for human consumption becomes even more stringent, particularly with regard to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
Cotecna will participate in BIOFACH 2026, the world’s leading trade fair for organic food, taking place in Nuremberg, Germany from February 10 to 13, 2026. We will be present at Stand 4-558, bringing together several Cotecna entities to support organic food producers, traders, and buyers across global supply chains.
BIOFACH is widely recognized as the key international meeting point for the organic sector and serves as a major European gateway for Indian products and producers. Cotecna’s participation reflects its continued commitment to supporting organic, sustainable, and compliant agri-food supply chains through testing, inspection, certification, and advisory services.
Our stand will officially host Neotron, Fitosoil, and Suolo e Salute, NofaLab and GeoChem India each contributing specialized expertise to address the needs of the organic food market. Neotron will present its capabilities in finished product analysis, supporting food safety, quality, and regulatory compliance. Fitosoil will highlight its services in soil and fertilizer analysis, essential for sustainable agricultural practices and organic production. Suolo e Salute will represent Cotecna’s certification expertise, supporting organic supply chain certification and compliance with European and international standards.
Moreover, NofaLab and GeoChem India will use the Cotecna stand as a base for meetings with customers and partners. Their presence will support discussions related to spice trading, covering the full value chain from farmers to European buyers. This engagement is further strengthened by the new role of Mr. Andrea Rizzo, who will support customer interactions and collaboration across markets.
