Abstract

Introduction

Organic & Natiral retailing is a major growth opportunity for many retailers. On the one hand consumers demand ‘greener’ supermarkets and on the other retailers’ interest should provide a further push. Contributing to both of these are initiatives from governments as they pursue their environmental and public health agendas. The boom in organic food shows no sign of running out of steam and sales of organic and natural produce are set to increase further. This trend is already observable in specialist retailers and organic supermarkets, discounters which have launched their own private label versions, and in the responses of mainstream multiples. Food scandals have reinforced consumer perceptions that organic is safer than conventional food. The future outlook for organic will be impacted by the still rising obesity problem and political initiatives - such as food labelling.
