Market with organic food

By Karol Wariala

More at: Honey Dressing. The expansion of the organic food market has surprised even the most pessimistic of consumers, and the prospects seem to be even greater for the years to come. Thus, estimates indicate a potential doubling of the sales by 2011. Such statistics have in fact given a new direction to the development of the organic food market as more and more food farmers choose to adapt to the new requirements in order to generate more revenue. Consumers, on the other hand, are determined to read ORGANIC on labels and thus stay away from the pesticides, the genetically modified organisms, the hormones and the antibiotics in conventional food.

The development of the organic food market results from consumers learning that regular non-organic food is dangerous to health by the chemicals it contains. With information there comes the effort of avoiding the products that are so full of chemicals. In time, the exposure of the processed food risks will determine a whole new evolution direction of the organic food market.

Most people choose to shop in large facilities because there is everything they need, therefore, the price offer for organic products will also have to be adjusted accordingly. Consequently, when you go to Wal-Mart you expect to get organic foods at a rather good price.

The organic food market is presently serviced by a huge number of producers worldwide. Although favored by some producers, exports of organic products is more difficult due to the perishable nature of the foods. The emphasis and the responsibility at the same time falls on local producers, farmers or farming groups that primarily target the local market sector.

Efforts are presently being made to extend the organic food market by an increase of the production. This growth can only be achieved if more and more manufacturers accept the rules and join the system. There is however a risk in this extension.

With the higher demand for organic foods, the sales of conventional products will drop. Regulations may become loose and allow semi-organic products to enter the market as well, because the biologically clean solutions are definitely not able to stay up to the consuming demands of the world's population.

Therefore, we could be witnessing a softening of the standards that keep organic foods so appealing to the health-concerned consumers. Regulations therefore have to remain strict and their implementation by control organs has to be impeccable. - 17274
