organic brands in difficulty

Like a wave of panic in organic supermarkets. For the very first times in history, sales fall and the market declines. Sales of organic products thus fell by 4.9% in one year. A decline partly due to purchasing power. In an organic store in Montreuil (Seine-Saint-Denis), there are people at the checkout, but not many items in the baskets. No ray is spared. Last year, there was -2% sales on fresh produce, -15% on fruits and vegetables and -20% on bulk.

The same crisis is observed in supermarkets. Carrefour is thus reducing the number of organic items and is even considering stopping its dedicated spaces. A specialized store in Gironde has for its part decided to institute lower prices on a few basic products. For specialists, the organic market could remain struggling for several more months.
