According to a report published by Vantage Market Research, the Global Organic Fruits and Vegetables Market was valued at USD 39.45 Billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 68.50 Billion by 2028. Organic Fruits and Vegetables Industry is expected to increase significantly compared to the forecast period’s market, with a CAGR of 8.2%. Organic fresh produce has been the biggest component of total organic food sales for decades and continues to dominate retail food sales, according to a new report from the USDA Economic Research Service. “Sales of fresh fruits and vegetables have been the top category of organically grown food since the organic food industry started retailing products,” the report said. U.S. sales of organic food products were an estimated $26.9 billion in 2010 (inflation-adjusted to 2021 dollars) and reached $52 billion in 2021, the USDA report said. Organic foods are more accessible today, in part through funding focused on getting more healthy foods to lower-income people, she said. Qualified consumers can use their Illinois Link cards to buy fresh produce at farmers’ markets. The Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) authorizes farmers’ markets to accept Link so more people can afford organic and local foods. At Babich’s Selmes Road​ vineyard in Marlborough, 25 hectares of organically-grown grapes lie, half of which were replanted last year to replace 30-year-old conventionally-grown vines. The conversion of vines from conventional to organic is part of a push from Babich to increase its supply of organic wine, with demand for their organic products up 240% over the past five years and a 50% growth in the last year alone. On the heels of new federal climate and agriculture policies geared toward supporting agricultural carbon markets, a report from Friends of the Earth and Open Markets Institute reveals how this approach will fail to address the climate crisis while enabling the largest agribusiness corporations to entrench their market power and greenwash their operations.
