Conclusions

› Both the organic area and the organic market grew byapproximately 6 percent in 2012.

› It is expected that both area and markets will continue togrowincreasing demand, continued policy support, increasingresarch activities and the policy work of the IFOAM EU Group and TP Organics.

› Major challenge: Domestic market development in manyNew EU Member States and the (Potential) Candidatecountries.
