Organic producers 2015

› For the current survey, a total of almost 2.4 million organic producers were reported.

› According to the data obtained, more than three quarters of the producers are located in developing and transition countries.

› The country with the most producers is India (585’200), followed by Ethiopia (203’302) and Mexico (200’039).

› It should be noted that not all certifiers reported the number of producers; their number is probably higher than 2.4 million.

Conclusions

› In 2015 organic farming continued to grow: More organic farmland, more producers, market growth.

› However, the development varies a lot between countries and regions.

› The outlook on the organic markets continues to be good; there is scope for further growth. However, particularly in Europe, production is not keeping pace with the market development.

› For better monitoring of the development of the sector, data collection and processing need to be improved in many countries, in particular for market and international trade data.
