Growing Demand For Organic Produce
During the historic period, the growing demand for organic produce supported the growth of the environmental friendly and sustainable food market. Organic farming enhances soil health, biodiversity and water conservation while eliminating synthetic chemicals that could disrupt ecosystems. This approach fosters a more sustainable food production system through practices such as crop rotation, composting and natural pest management, minimizing environmental impact. With growing consumer demand for organic products, food producers and retailers are prioritizing sustainable logistics, packaging and transportation. For instance, in May 2023, according to the Organic Trade Association (OTA), a U.S.-based non-profit trade organization, total organic sales increased from $64.96 billion in 2021 to $67.58 billion in 2022, reflecting a growth rate of 4.0%. Specifically, organic food sales rose from $59.15 billion in 2021 to $61.67 billion in 2022, representing a growth of 4.3%. Therefore, growing demand for organic produce drove the growth of the environmental friendly and sustainable food market.
