    Organic Market Overview
    Consumer demand for organically produced
    goods continues to show double-digit growth,
    providing market incentives for U.S. farmers
    across a broad range of products. Organic
    products are now available in nearly 20,000
    natural food stores and nearly 3 out of 4
    conventional grocery stores. Organic sales
    account for over 4 percent of total U.S. food
    .sales, according to recent industry statistics

    Organic food is sold to consumers through three


    main venues in the United States—conventional
    grocery stores, natural food stores, and direct-to-
    .consumer markets
    A typical organic consumer is difficult to pinpoint,
    but new research continues to shed light on
    .consumer attitudes and purchasing behavior
    Organic price premiums continue to remain high
    in many markets as the demand for organic
    .products expands
    Organic Sales Widen in All Food Categories
    USDA does not have official statistics on U.S.
    organic retail sales, but information is available
    from industry sources. U.S. sales of organic
    products were an estimated $28.4 billion in 2012
    —over 4 percent of total food sales—and will
    reach an estimated $35 billion in 2014, according

    .to the Nutrition Business Journal

    Fresh fruits and vegetables have been the top


    selling category of organically grown food since
    the organic food industry started retailing
    products over 3 decades ago, and they are still
    outselling other food categories, according to the
    Nutrition Business Journal. Produce accounted for
    43 percent of U.S. organic food sales in 2012,
    followed by dairy (15 percent),
    packaged/prepared foods (11 percent),
    beverages (11 percent), bread/grains (9 percent),
    snack foods (5 percent), meat/fish/poultry (3
    percent), and condiments (3 percent).

    Most organic sales (93 percent) take place


    through conventional and natural food
    supermarkets and chains, according to the
    Organic Trade Association (OTA). OTA estimates
    the remaining 7 percent of U.S. organic food sales
    occur through farmers' markets, foodservice, and
    marketing channels other than retail stores. One
    of the most striking differences between
    conventional and organic food marketing is the
    use of direct markets—Cornell University
    estimates that only about 1.6 percent of U.S.
    fresh produce sales are through direct sales. The
    number of farmers' markets in the United States
    has grown steadily from 1,755 markets in 1994,
    when USDA began to track them, to over 8,144 in
    2013. Participating farmers are responding to
    heightened demand for locally grown organic
    product. A USDA survey of market managers. ERS
    research found that demand for organic products
    was strong or moderate in most of the farmers'
    markets surveyed around the country, and that
    managers felt more organic farmers were needed
    to meet consumer demand in many States. See
    :the ERS report for more on this topic
