In the year 2005 ICCOA was the first organization to understand the need of a platform where the organic producers could assemble, interact with people, showcase and sell their organic produce. This also could create awareness of the organic in the general public. This gave birth to India Organic Trade Fairs and the first event was successfully organized in Bangalore in the year 2005. With increasing appreciation and support from all stakeholders including private, developmental and governments, India Organic Fair became a strong annual event (the first two years (2005, 2006) in Bangalore and next two years (2007, 2008) in New Delhi, wherein almost all the Indian States started to participate in the Fair. There was a quantum jump in the amount of business enquiries generated in these fairs over years.

BIOFACH is a World Organic Trade Fair which is originally from Nurnberg, Germany and is also being organized only in five other countries across the globe (USA, Brazil, China, Japan). In 2009 India will have its first Biofach fair, which is a historical moment reckoned as a golden event for development of organic in the country. The constant and foresighted efforts of ICCOA has resulted in a merger of India Organic Trade Fair with this International Organic Trade Fair to be known as BIOFACH INDIA together with INDIA ORGANIC. ICCOA has gone for this arrangement for the benefit of entire organic stakeholders in the country so that the country can have a truly world-class event. This is going to benefit the organic movement in the country by bringing in international buyers in more number and thus is a huge opportunity for Indian organic market development. With this India is bound to gain with its image as a hub of organic produce.
