Organic Food Sales Continue to Strengthen
Europe has the largest and most sophisticated market
for organic products in the world. With modern day organic
farming originating in the continent, consumer demand for organic foods
is highly
established. High sales growth is bringing the market share of products like organic milk
towards 10% in a number of countries.
High market growth rates are causing many sectors to suffer from
undersupply with imports meeting the shortfall in regional supply.
Although EU accession countries are becoming important sources, organic
foods continue to be imported from a number of continents. Almost all
organic product categories are import dependent; important sources
include Latin America and Africa for organic fruit and
vegetables, Asia for organic beverages and ingredients, Australasia for
organic meat products.
The European market is characterised by a large number of producers and distributors,
generating a highly competitive landscape. Indeed, stiff competition has
led to a number of high-profile market exits in recent years.
As consumers becoming increasingly sophisticated in their consumer
behaviour towards organic foods, companies are focusing on supply chain management
to ensure traceability from farm to fork. Continuous supply is also a
major concern with a number of European companies investing in
developing countries to lock-in supply of organic products.
