The strength of the organic market and how to get started.
Australia now has more organic farms than any other country and we have a strong comparative advantage and brand as a clean, green and safe supplier of quality produce.
The Australian organic industry is growing at an exponential rate, with IBISWorld estimating the market to grow from $919m in 2016 to $1.2b by 2022.
But wait, there’s more!
- Consumer demand for organic produce far outstrips supply (but up to 40 per cent), and this trend of growing popularity has no signs of slowing down (see our next post!)
- Organic grains, fruit and vegetables, livestock feeds, and red meat are all undersupplied (Australian
Organic, 2017) - Organic markets have been labelled as “recession-proof”, with global sales of organics experiencing double-digit growth when other sectors suffered declines (Australian Organic, 2014)
- In 2016, exports increased to all continents, with tonnes of organic products growing by 17% during the year. (Australian Organic, 2017)
- 56% of US imports of Australian organic produce was organic beef (Australian Organic, 2017)
