Organic market in France grows by 10 %
There is strong demand for organic food in France and the market is continually growing. In 2014, turnover grew by 10 % compared with 2013 and amounted to five billion euros (Germany 7.8 billion euros). Per capita expenditure in France was 75 euros and the equivalent figure in Germany was 95 euros. Germany’s western neighbour has been catching up rapidly and the big differences that we used to see are a thing of the past. Almost nine out of ten consumers now buy organics at least occasionally, with six out of ten buying an organic product once a month. In order to meet this demand more and more farmers are continuing to convert to organic production. The semi-state Agence Bio reports that the 1.1 million hectare mark was passed last year, although the growth in expansion was only 4 %.
