Where can I get information about consumption and prices of organic commodities?

Although organic agriculture is still only a small industry (2% of global food sales), it is growing in importance worldwide. It is difficult to collect information due to lack of official statistics and the level of confidentiality of organizations dealing with organic produce. However, interest is growing for information about the nature of the organic market dynamics. This will assist in the long-term planning of what produce to supply, in what quantity and quality.
The World of Organic Agriculture - Statistics and Emerging Trends 2011 contains information on the global situation of organic agriculture. For country or commodity-based information see the Country Data page and Marketing and Trade section of the "Links" page on this website. The EU also has statistical information about organic farming amongst its member states. |
