Drivers

Rise in Production of Organic Farming

• The ways in which organic agricultural practices now exist across the world have undergone major shifts over the past several decades. Governments across the globe are promoting organic cultivation having an objective to lower the usage of hazardous chemicals in food production. Growing organic food industry will continue to enhance the accessibility and affordability of natural foods promoting sustainable production more globally.

Growing Health Awareness among People

• Health consciousness among shoppers is one of the driving factors for this surge in organic food industry. Due to this, customers are putting more focus on the nutrition of their meals along with the quality and thus more demand is increased for organic options. The growing accessibility of health information with increasing availability is maintaining the progress towards organic food.

Restraints

Rising Expenses of Organic Food

• Organically farmed products generally come at a higher cost than its traditionally grown counterparts. Each of the stages in growing, production and distribution entails high expenses due to a combination of high labor requirements and relatively low yields per acre. Especially in developing nations, wallet-friendliness is a critical factor to get such sustenance for mass consumption.

Restricted Shelf Life

• While organic produce avoids pesticides and preservatives, perishability remains a challenge. Without preservatives, fruits and greens perish more quickly, rotting in fields or markets as consumers hesitate. Turnip greens, mustard greens and endive wilt within days, tons annually discarded though hunger lingers. Short lives restrict supply while demand rises, growth stunted until solutions emerge to lengthen freshness or needs match nature's pace.
