- t_headline: Impact of Customer Demand on Organic Food Market t_text: Consumer demand for more organic foods continues to grow. This growth is an incentive for United States farmers.

Organic products can now be found in over 20,000 or more food shops and most grocery stores. According to industry statistics, organic food sales makeup 4% of total food sales in the United States.

Organic Sales Broaden Food Categories
Industry sources from the Nutrition Business Journal state that sales of organic products in the United States had an estimate profit of $35 billion in 2014. over

Organic fruits, whole foods and organic meat are some of the top selling categories. Fresh fruits and vegetables have been a top seller since the organic food movement began 3 decades ago. Produce by itself accounted for 43% of organic food sales in the United States. Organic dairy followed with 15% and organic meat accounted for 3% just under organic breads.

According to the Organic Trade Association (OTA) over 93% of sales took place through a traditional food market or grocery chain. OTA also estimates the last 7% of organic food sales came from farmers markets.


Over the years, farmers markets have grown throughout the United States from 1,755 in 1994 to 8,144 in 2013. This is due to the response from consumer demand for more locally grown organic products.

A survey conducted by the USDA found the demand for organic products at these farmers markets was so strong that more organic farmers were needed to fulfill the growing demand. p_headline_type: h2 image: i_image: impact-of-customer-demand-on-organic-food-market-1623362557-4184.png t_description: //pixabay.com/photos/vegetables-market-peppers-capsicums-690270/ v_attribution: //pixabay.com/photos/vegetables-market-peppers-capsicums-690270/ v_license: Creative Commons Zero callout_text: - t_title: Key Takeaways t_text: - t_headline: Conclusion to Organic Food Markets t_text: p_headline_type: h2 image: i_image: t_description: v_attribution: v_license: video: v_video: 03vWwqYPf60 v_video_language: default t_name: Organic food - hype or hope? | DW Documentary t_description: There is growing demand in the western world for organic food. But do consumers always get what it says on the label? How can authenticity be verified?Is organic food automatically healthier? Consumers are prepared to pay a significant premium for it. There are currently, however, no reliable tests for distinguishing organic from conventionally produced food. Farmers need to invest a great deal of time, energy and money to qualify as a producer of organic food. There is no proof, however, that organic food actually contains fewer contaminants than conventionally farmed products. There is no such thing as pollution-free food, and there are currently no tests available for reliably distinguishing between organic and non-organic food. That opens doors for lucrative labeling fraud, which in turn explains why there are far more organic eggs on the market at Easter than at any other time of the year. The statistics clearly suggest manipulation, but it is hard to obtain evidence due to the differences between the two production processes appearing to have little effect on the quality of the product. Irish dairy farmers, for instance, are not allowed to label their milk "organic" because the pasture land where their herds spend more than 300 days a year are treated with mineral fertilizers. Because cows are themselves bioreactors, however, the milk they yield contains no trace at all of fertilizer. On average, conventional Irish milk contains more omega 3 fatty acids and antioxidants than organic milk from Germany. The reason is the fodder; German organic farms may use only concentrates and silage as supplementary feed to increase milk output - which impacts negatively on the quality of the milk. This documentary looks at researchers who are studying potential ways of reliably distinguishing between organic and conventionally produced food. And that is no easy task. Nearly every foodstuff requires a specific test. But one thing is certain- organic farming makes a major contribution to human welfare - by helping to mitigate climate change, protect the groundwater, conserve nature and promote animal welfare._______DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.
