Organic produce sales up 80%

A new report has found that organic produce growers have experienced an 80% growth in farm-gate sales over the last four years, despite the widespread drought.

The report, released by the Biological Farmers of Australia, also reveals that Australia now accounts for the largest area of organic farmland in the world.

The report on the state of the organic market says it is now worth around $230 million a year and there are 2750 certified growers in Australia. The report found that as most farmers battle with drought and low sales, the organic market is showing significant growth.
