Strong Sales
Growth Easing Oversupply
Healthy market growth rates and decreasing production levels of organic
milk are easing oversupply in the
UK
organic dairy sector.
The market for organic dairy products is reporting high growth due to
product innovations and marketing campaigns of producers. A number of
innovative organic dairy products have been launched in recent years
which include organic milk with functional ingredients, flavoured
organic milk, and Greek-style organic yoghurts. The introduction of
organic dairy products under supermarket private labels has also boosted
sales growth.
Future market growth is predicted to also be driven by scientific
research into health benefits of organic milk, and the food services &
catering sector. Research studies have shown organic milk to have more
omega acids and conjugated linoleic acid than conventional milk. Growing
scientific research on the health & nutritious properties of organic
milk is expected to strengthen consumer demand. There is also growing
demand for organic dairy products from restaurants, cafés, schools and
catering companies.
Over a third of the organic milk produced since 2001 has gone into the
conventional dairy market because of oversupply. This study predicts
supplies to come into balance with demand in 2006. Organic milk
production levels are falling as the number of organic dairy farmers
decline. A significant reduction is expected in 2005 when the five-year
conversion grants of many organic dairy farmers end, and the EU
derogation on organic feeds is lifted. Organic dairy farmers will have
to use 100% organic rations from August 2005 onwards and higher
production costs are predicted to cause some farmers to quit organic
farming.
The organic dairy products market is envisaged to continue to show
healthy growth in spite of retail prices increasing in 2005. The leading
producers are re-positioning their organic brands and this is widening
consumer demand for organic dairy products.
