Growing Demand for Organic Products Outpaces Production

The demand for organic foods in Germany is surging, yet production struggles to keep pace, particularly in meat and fruit sectors. BÖLW chairwoman Tina Andres emphasizes the crucial need for the next government to double organic farmland by 2030 to prevent reliance on imports.

As consumers increasingly prioritize environmental and climate-friendly choices, spending on organic products reached 16.1 billion euros in 2023, reflecting a 5% increase from the previous year. The upcoming Naturkostmesse Biofach and Vivaness fairs will showcase these trends and reinforce the call for an agricultural transformation that supports climate and biodiversity objectives.
