Australia

Tuesday 10 June 2014

Chinese consumers are increasing their demands increasingly of healthy and organic foods, this market represents huge opportunities to seize for Australian producers.

The Chinese market and its growing demand for organic products will offer some opportunities for Australian producers.

The Australian Organic body predicts strong opportunities for Australian producers. 2 centers of certifications, Australian and Chinese, have signed an agreement to mutually recognize their certifications. An organic product with the "Australian Certified Organic" certification will be automatically recognized biological China by OFDC (Organic Food Development and Certification Center of China).

The agreement comes after years of negotiations and opens vast opportunities. In China the organic food production amounts to more than 2.5 billion USD but the demand far exceeds. Australian Organic plans to implement a plan to make the transition to organic farming easier for producers.
