Naturally Paris 2025: A Celebration of Organic Living and a Strategic Step Forward for African Representation

Naturally Paris Fair 2025

From June 6–9, 2025, the vibrant halls of Paris Expo Porte de Versailles hosted the much anticipated Naturally Paris 2025, a four day exhibition dedicated to natural and organic living. The event once again proved its relevance and influence, drawing thousands of visitors and over 200 exhibitors from across Europe and beyond. With a comprehensive focus on natural food, wellness, local ecology, eco-conscious home décor, and ethical trade, Naturally Paris served as an essential converging point for sustainable innovation and community.

Owkperez23 Joins the Movement

Among the participants this year was Owkperez23, a Ghana based consultancy and advocacy platform committed to promoting organic and sustainable products from Africa. Their presence marked not just participation, but active engagement in the conversations shaping the future of natural and ethical commerce.

Owkperez23 attended the fair to monitor and assess the relevance of Naturally Paris to African businesses and entrepreneurs dealing in organic and sustainable goods. As part of this strategic mission, they engaged with a cross-section of exhibitors, ranging from the wellness sector, featuring standout brands such as House of Wonder and Cerule Savoie Wellness, to culinary innovators, eco-home decorators, and lifestyle artisans.

Strengthening Ties with Organisers: Meeting with Joachim Flores

One of the key milestones for Owkperez23 at the fair was a successful meeting with Joachim Flores, a dynamic figure at Spas Organisation, the organisers of Naturally Paris and several other leading eco-conscious expos in France. Spas Organisation has, over the years, earned a reputation for their consistent delivery of well curated, high impact trade shows. Their track record demonstrates not only credibility but also an evolving commitment to inclusive, global representation in the natural and organic sectors.

Owkperez23 successfully engaged Spas Organisation about diversifying their scope; following a productive dialogue between Joachim Flores and Kwame Oppong Amankwah, Owkperez23’s Managing Director, there is now a renewed commitment from the organisers to expand their exhibitions to include a more visible and structured representation of natural and organic products from Africa, with special attention to Ghana.

This proposed inclusion marks a significant shift for the Naturally Paris fair and potentially other Spas Organisation events as it opens the door to fresh, high quality African contributions to the global organic and sustainable movement.

A Ghanaian Highlight: Ginger Flames Ignites Interest

A true standout moment for Owkperez23 and one of the most heartwarming stories of the fair was the discovery of Ginger Flames, a brand led by Winnie and David, a Ghanaian couple based in France. Ginger Flames produces a line of naturally organic juice blends infused with ginger, offering both refreshing flavor and health benefits.

Their success story embodies the kind of innovation and cross-cultural entrepreneurship Owkperez23 advocates for. Already gaining traction across France, London, Amsterdam, and even expanding to the United States, Ginger Flames is redefining what African organic products can achieve internationally. Even more impressive was their ready made jollof rice mix, a convenient, pre-packed solution in both spicy and mild versions. Consumers simply add rice and cook, making authentic West African cuisine accessible and hassle-free.

Looking Ahead: A Platform for Change

The 2025 edition of Naturally Paris proved not only successful in terms of attendance and engagement, but also pivotal in expanding the global conversation on sustainability. With Spas Organisation’s commitment to inclusion and Owkperez23’s readiness to act as a conduit for African businesses, the pathway is clear for a more representative future.

As Owkperez23 pushes forward with strategic planning and outreach, their focus remains on ensuring that more African producers, artisans, and entrepreneurs find their place on the global stage. The journey from Ghana’s organic farms to the bustling exhibition halls of Paris is no longer a dream, it’s in motion.

Naturally Paris 2025 wasn’t just a fair. It was a movement and Africa is ready to take the stage.
