Organic agriculture in Africa 2009
› In Africa, there are slightly more than one million hectares of certified organic agricultural land (data 2009).
› This constitutes about three percent of the world’s organic agricultural land.
› 500’000 producers were reported. › The countries with the most organic land are Uganda (226'954
hectares), Tunisia (167'302 hectares), and Ethiopia (122'727 hectares).
› The highest shares of organic land are in Sao Tome and Prince (6.5 percent), Sierra Leone (1.8 percent), and Uganda (1.7 percent).
› The majority of certified organic produce in Africa is destined for export markets; in Uganda the export value for organic products was 37 million US dollars in 2009/2010.
› The European Union, as the major recipient of these exports, is Africa’s largest market for agricultural produce. Tunisia was accepted under the EU’s Third Country List in 2009.

Organic Agriculture in Asia – Key Figures 2009
› The total organic agricultural area in Asia is nearly 3.6 million hectares.
› This constitutes ten percent of the world’s organic agricultural land.
› There were 731'315 producers reported.
› The leading countries by area are China (1.9 million hectares) and India (1.2 million hectares).
› Timor-Leste has the most organic agricultural area as a proportion of total agricultural land (almost seven percent).

Organic Agriculture in Asia – Key Figures 2009
› The region hosts a wide range of organic sector development scenarios, from early development to highly regulated. Far from the marginal position it held previously, organic is now an accepted concept and growing market trend in the region.
› Whilst export remains the dominant feature of sector development in the majority of developing countries in the region, local markets have emerged and are gaining ground.
› Primarily a market driven sector, government policy is an emerging and significant sector development factor today in many countries. Although domestic market size is still relatively small, the high value and profile associated with organic has led to civil society (consumer) calls and governments’ interest to regulate the sector. Seven markets have implementedorganic labeling regulations (i.e., China, India, Japan, South Korea, Philippines, Taiwan, and Malaysia). Others, Sri Lanka and Nepal have established government competent authorities.
› A major event— The 17th IFOAM Organic World Congress —will be held in Korea in autumn 2011.

Source: FiBL /IFOAM Survey 2011The increase of organic agricultural land in 2004 is due to a major expansion in China, partly due to government support. Much of these areas were grazing areas which, however, ceased to be certified in 2005, hence the drop of the organic agricultural area in Asia in that year.

Organic agriculture in Europe: Key data/indicators 2009
› The market was 18.4 billion euros, an increase of roughly fivepercent compared with 2009. The market grew at smaller rates than in previous years even though some countries like France and Sweden showed strong growth.
› The largest market for organic products in 2009 was Germany with a turnover of 5’800 million euros, followed by France (3'041 million euros) and the UK (2'065 million euros).
› As a portion of the total market share, the highest levels have been reached in Denmark, Austria and Switzerland, with five percent or more for organic products. The highest per capita spending is also in these countries.
› Support for organic farming in the European Union and neighboring countries includes grants under rural development programs, legal protection, and the European as well as national action plans. An updated overview of European action plans shows that currently 26 action plans (including regional action plans) are in place.

› In Latin America, more than 280’000 producers managed 8.6 million hectares of agricultural land organically in 2009.
› This constitutes 23 percent of the world’s organic land and 1.4 percent of the regions agricultural land.
› The leading countries are Argentina (4.4 million hectares), Brazil (1.8 million hectares), and Uruguay (930'965 hectares).
› The highest shares of organic agricultural land are in the Falkland Islands/Malvinas (35.7 percent), the Dominican Republic (8.3 percent), and Uruguay (6.3 percent).
www.fibl.org
Latin America: Key figures 2009
› Most organic products from Latin American countries are sold on the European, North American or Japanese markets. Popular goods are especially those that cannot be produced in these regions, as well as off-season products. Thus, the development of robust local markets is still a major challenge, without which the sustainability of organic production cannot be achieved. Important crops are tropical fruits, grains and cereals, coffee, cocoa, sugar, and meats. Most organic food sales in the domestic markets of the countries occur in major cities.
› Eighteen countries have legislation on organic farming, and five additional countries are currently developing organic regulations. Costa Rica and Argentina have both attained Third Country status according to the EU regulation on organic farming.
› The types of support in Latin American countries range from organic agriculture promotion programs to market access support by export agencies.

Organic agriculture in Oceania: Key figures 2009
› Growth in the organic industry in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands has been strongly influenced by rapidly growing overseas demand; domestic markets are, however, also growing. In Australia it was at 947 Australian dollars in 2009 and in New Zealand at 350 million New Zealand dollars.
› The biggest change in the Australian domestic market over 2009 was that the Australian Standard for Organic and Biodynamic Products was adopted and published by Standards Australia.
› The year 2010 marked a milestone for the Pacific Region: The International Organic Accreditation Service (www.ioas.org) assessed the Pacific Organic Standard (POS) and found it to be equivalent to the standards requirements of the European Union’s organic regulations.
