Organics demand rising fast
4 Aug 2006
The Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation said organics was one of the fastest growing sectors in the food industry overall, experiencing double digit growth in most developed markets, compared with a growth rate of one per cent to two per cent for conventional food products. RIRDC said there was “a large amount of latent unsatisfied demand for organic foods." Japan is Australia's biggest market, taking just over one third of our organic exports including meat, cereals, beverages and spices. The second biggest market is continental Europe, collecting 26 per cent of exports, followed by Britain at 17 per cent. The report identifies export expansion opportunities for Australia, especially in cereals.
