Organics

The Belgian market for organic products has now grown to some €300m, according to market research firm GfK.

This year, reports Fruchtportal.de, sales are up by 25 per cent compared with the previous year, thanks to rising food prices and greater demand.

The recession appears to have had a minimal impact on the organic sector in Belgium, where almost half of all purchases of organic products are made in traditional supermarkets.
