The growing demand for organic food is a significant factor driving the expansion of the organic fruit and nut farming market. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of building strong immunity, which has led consumers to prioritize foods rich in antioxidants and nutrients. Organic food, known for its health benefits, has become a popular choice for enhancing immunity, prompting consumers to pay a premium for these products. For instance, in May 2023, the Organic Trade Association (OTA), a US-based trade organization, reported that sales of organic food in the US reached $60 billion for the first time in 2022. As a result, the increasing demand for organic food is expected to further propel the growth of the organic fruit and nut farming market.
The organic fruit and nut farming market is poised to benefit from the rising need to reduce the use of chemicals and pesticides. Chemicals and pesticides are commonly employed to control pests, insects, weeds, and pathogens that can harm crops and the environment. Fruit farming often utilizes these substances to enhance productivity, reduce food waste, and ensure an adequate food supply. However, the use of pesticides, antibiotics, and hormones in fruit farming is subject to strict regulations to safeguard consumer safety. In 2023, nearly 75% of non-organic fresh produce sold in the U.S. were found to contain residues of potentially harmful pesticides, according to the Environmental Working Group (EWG). Blueberries and green beans have been added to the Dirty Dozen list of fruits and vegetables with the highest pesticide residues. Pesticide exposure can have various adverse effects on human health, particularly in children. Hence, the increasing need to minimize chemical and pesticide usage is expected to drive the growth of the organic fruit and nut farming market.
A noteworthy trend in the organic fruit and nut farming market is the production of organic crops through vertical farming methods. Vertical farming involves indoor cultivation that maximizes the use of vertical space for crop growth. This method can significantly increase food production per acre of land and reduce the need for long distribution chains by situating farms closer to urban areas, ensuring fresher produce reaches consumers. Companies like Plenty in the U.S. are leading the way in vertical farming, with plans to operate a 100,000 square foot vertical farming facility producing 4.5 million pounds of greens annually.

The offerings include various flavors like Habanero Lime, Rosemary Garlic, Hot Honey, and Maple Butter, available in both in-shell and no-shell versions, each offering a substantial protein content with all nine essential amino acids.
