Times are tough throughout the world and people are taking a serious reassessment as to what they are spending their money on. But this often means being smarter and buying the best value and not necessarily the least expensive products and so it is for the organic food market worldwide.
In fact, here are some of what we’re seeing according to fruitnet.com … the US (projected 2009 sales at $38 Billion, up 8.7%), Germany, France, Romania, Poland.. all up. In addition prices in Europe for organic appear to be dropping (as we’ve seem on some items in the US).
Hey, I just came from the Supermarket and Granny Smith Apples were $0.99 for Conventional vs. $1.99 for Organic. Percentage-wise this is double the price but when you get down to the apples themselves I can buy 1/2 pound of these things with no pesticides or anything for a mere $0.50 more. .. a no brainer. Good for my health, good for the environment and they just taste better
Gratefully as this thing gets bigger and bigger we’ll have more choices, even better prices and much less chemicals being put into our bodies and the environment.
