Research Highlights:

Organic is the fastest growing sector of the food industry with global sales projected to surpass the US $40 billion mark in 2007. Exceptionally high market growth rates are leading to undersupply in various regions because organic food supply is not keeping pace with demand.

The North American and European regions are most affected by supply shortages. American organic food producers & retailers are importing organic products from the four corners of the world. European organic food producers are investing in organic farming projects in third world countries to ‘lock-in’ supply of organic products.

The largest increases in organic food production have been in Asia, Africa and Latin America. All three regions have reported triple-digit growth in organic farmland since 2000. Although production of organic foods has become global, the proliferation in organic standards is fragmenting the organic food industry.

Fresh produce is the leading organic product category. Fruit & vegetables like apples, oranges, carrots and potatoes are typical entry points for consumers buying organic products. Their fresh nature appeals to consumers seeking healthy & nutritious foods. Dairy products and beverages are the next most important organic product categories.
