Happy Thursday Blogger Friends!
It is a sunny day here in central Florida. We are excited to find the organic herbs and food industry is growing at a constant rate and more than ever! Organic sales in the United States reached $24.6 billion in sales in 2008. Organic food is the largest segment of organic products, totaling $22.9 billion in sales and accounting for 93% of all organic product sales. The growth rate for food and non-food organic products combined was 17.1% between 2007 and 2008. The growth rate for organic food products in 2008 over 2007 was 15.8%. Organic food now accounts for 3.47% of all food products sold in the U.S. The growth rate for non-food organic products was 39.4%. This non-food category includes personal care products, nutritional supplements, fiber, clothing, household cleaners, flowers, and pet food.

So back to the increasing demand for organic products.... OTA reports U.S. organic food sales have grown between 17 and 21 percent each year since 1997, to nearly triple in sales, while total U.S. food sales over this time period have grown in the range of only 2 to 4 percent a year. According to the findings, organic food sales now represent approximately 5 percent of U.S. food sales.
