European 'bio-dairy' Boom Continues

摘要

Double figure turnover growth has been a fixed feature of the organic dairy product sector in Germany and Austria for years now. And despite the global economic crisis, 2008 will have been no different, according to first estimates by the agency for market and price reporting ZMP. It is suggesting an increase of at least 10% in bio food sales - an estimate backed by a recent survey by from the Federal Organic Food Sector, BOELW. Research by the department of agriculture and food marketing at the University of Kassel-Witzenhausen suggests that 2008 results for organic sales would have been even better but for difficulties in production and supply, which also led to a scarcity of organic milk from German farmers.
