European consumers are more and more likely to turn to organic products.
Biological products have more and more customers in Europe
The consumption of organic products continues to progress in Europe. Eating healthy foods is not just a fashion effect but seems quite a trend.
According to the Bio Agency, the consumption of organic products increased by 6.2% in the European Union in 2010. The market is estimated to 18.5 billion €, the majority of the consumption of this offer is made in four countries: Germany (32%), France (19%), Italy (8%) and the United Kingdom (11%).
The food scandals such as the recent "horsegate" will only exacerbate the demand for healthier products. The supply and variety of organic products offered by large distributors will also continue to exacerbate the demand for these products.
