Organic food sales on the rise

by admin on September 6, 2010

The organic food industry is going from strength to strength with the recent growth pushing the annual sales to almost $1 Billion a year in Australia, as a new report show more Australians are preferring the chemical free lifestyle.

The traditional supermarkets such as Coles, Woolworths and IGA have accounted for more market share, selling 60% of Australia’s organic food, according to a report commissioned by the Biological Farmers of Australia.

This trend is defying the global recession as the the sales of organic wine, beer, cosmetics, and feed stocks grew.   The big growth in sales of 61% was distributed over only a small 4% increase in the number of producers.

As expected the biggest barrier to further grow was the price premium of the organic products.  Although with the strong growth it should help economies of scale help reduce the price in the longer term.

Many miessence products use organic shea fruit butter.  This plant butter is produce from the nuts of the large Karite tree in West Africa. Some clinical  observations suggest that Shea Butter increases local blood circulation in the skin, improving the elimination of waste products.  Other studies suggest that Shea Butter helps to improve the elasticity of the skin, making it a valuable addition to products for all skin types.

The unsaponifiables and cinnamic esters in Shea Butter give it antimicrobial and moisturising properties and provide light protection against UV rays of the sun.
