A Chinese retail chain which sells organic products has experienced a 35% increase in sales over 1 year.
Organic food, which represent a small part in the Chinese market and worldwide, continues to increase its sales.
The LohaoCityOrganic saw its sales increase by 35% over one year in its 20 branches located in major cities.
The price difference is still significant among the organic vegetables and conventional vegetables.
It is still rare to find on market organic produce reliable when only one organization can deliver certifications : the CGFDC (China Green Food Development Centre).
