Although organic agriculture is still only a small industry (1-2% 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.
Organic Agriculture Worldwide 2002 - Statistics and Future Prospects published by the Foundation of Ecology and Agriculture (SOL) contains informal information on the global situation of organic agriculture.
Two global studies have been published on world trade in organic produce by the UN: "Organic Food and Beverages: World Supply and Major European Markets" (UNCTAD/WTO International Trade Centre, 1999); and "World Markets for Organic Fruits and Vegetables" (FAO/ITC/CTA, 2001).
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.
