Created in 2005, the Natexpo Awards single out the most innovative, useful, practical, and original products launched in the market during the past year.
This year, more than 250 new products were listed in the Awards competition, in seven categories: fresh products, grocery products, beverages, health food, dietary supplements, cosmetics and hygiene products, household and personal products and services.
