The Raw Materials Exchange for Public Catering brings together farmers, food processors, caterers and kitchen operators from Brandenburg and Berlin. The focus is on matching concrete demand with available supply and fostering new partnerships along regional organic value chains.

The fourth Market Information Forum 2026 is dedicated to successful cooperatives, producer associations, and marketing models in Brandenburg. The focus will be on collective marketing, aggregation of production volumes, and regional sales structures. In addition, practical questions concerning the establishment and organisation of producer associations will be discussed.

The third Market Information Talk 2026 focused on logistics structures for organic products in Brandenburg. The event highlighted existing initiatives, cooperative models, and practical examples from regional value chains. Together, participants were developing a current picture of the logistics landscape: What is already working well? What lessons have been learned? And where is further action needed?

The second Market Information Dialogue 2026 focused on innovations and emerging crops for Brandenburg’s organic market. Particular attention was given to speciality and niche crops such as millet, buckwheat, quinoa, sea buckthorn, flaxseed, and legumes, which have gained increasing importance for regional value creation in recent years.

Two information postcards have been developed for the Market Information Talks for the Organic Sector 2026. The postcards support communication for the dialogue series and draw attention to key challenges along organic value chains in Brandenburg.

The first event focused on storage and pre-processing – two areas in which regionally and organically operating farms often encounter limited capacities or missing infrastructure.

The 2026 Market Information Talks aim to systematically address key challenges along these value chains and to develop practical solutions together with stakeholders. Building on the dialogues held in previous years, the 2026 series places a stronger emphasis on infrastructure needs.
