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, market studies indicate a potential doubling of the sales by 2011. Such statistics have imprinted 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. The more we learn about the additives and chemical substances in non-organic products, the higher the eagerness to buy something organic. In time, the exposure of the processed food risks will determine a whole new evolution direction of the organic food market.

And people shop at supermarkets, which is why, retailers have to offer attractive products that are considered organic commodities at a very affordable price. Consequently, when you shop at 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 responsibility and the emphasis 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 get caught in the system. Risks do come with the rapid development.

With the higher demand for organic foods, the sales of conventional products will drop. The problem here is that even the regular items on the organic food market can become subject to the production haste that will involve some form of automated processing or food treatment, thus, pushing the all organic principles a bit further, making them rather loose in fact.

Therefore, we could be assisting right now to a softening of the standards that keep organic foods so desirable to the health-concerned consumers. Regulations therefore have to remain strict and their implementation by control organs has to be impeccable. - 17273
