European Union: EU Organic Market Rebounds as Inflation Slows

The EU remains the largest overseas market for organic food, with sales reaching $58.5 billion in 2024 and a steady upward trend projected through 2026. Despite inflation-driven setbacks in 2022, the market has rebounded following decreased inflation. Western and Northern European countries continue to drive per capita organic spending, while distribution channels diversify, with both supermarkets and specialty shops expanding their organic offerings. The EU's goal to have 25 percent of farmland under organic cultivation by 2030 remains challenging, as only Austria has over 25 percent of farmland under organic production.
