The Speed of the Organic Food Market

December 3rd, 2009 by keen bean

I was one of those fellas that got on the organic food bandwagon very early on. I quickly fell in love with organic coffee and have never looked back to any of the other varieties. There have been a few organic products that I was not crazy about, due to the price, but it has been rare, and there are always more options to replace those anyway.

So, when I read that organic food only accounts for 1 to 2 percent of total food sales worldwide, I am shocked. My surprise continues when I see that sales have jumped from 23 billion US dollars in 2002 to 52 billion in 2008. I want to know when are more people going to switch to organic foods. For anyone interested in making the leap, in baby step form, start with ground coffee and expand from there. You will not regret it.
