Rising demand for organic food is anticipated to act as a major driver for the growth of the organic vegetable farming market during the period.The health benefits offered by organic food such as high nutritional content, non-GMO, and being free from synthetic pesticides and fertilizers tend to be a key factor for augmented demand for organic food including organic vegetables.
According to the 2020 Organic Industry Survey released by the Organic Trade Association, the USA organic food sales hit $50.1 billion, up by 4.6% from 2019. Due to the beneficial impact on the health of organic growers, assistants, their families, and customers, as they are less exposed to harmful chemicals, and the increasing consumers’ preferences for organic food is projected to generate higher demand for organic vegetable farming during the forecast period.
The launch of various schemes by the governments of various countries across the world is promoting organic farming.Due to the health benefits and environmental benefits offered by organic products, the governments are promoting organic farming activities by launching various schemes and encouraging the population to shift towards organic products.
For instance, the government of India is promoting organic farming under its two dedicated schemes – Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY) and Mission Organic Value Chain Development for North Eastern Region (MOVCDNER).Other schemes for promotions of organic farming include Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) and Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH) and Network Project for Organic Farming.
The launch of similar schemes worldwide is likely to provide ample avenues for the organic vegetable farming market’s growth shortly.
The high cost of organic farming in comparison with conventional farming is predicted to limit the growth of the organic vegetable farming market.According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations (UN), the prices for organic food are higher than that of conventional products attributing to greater labor inputs and other costs incurred to produce high quantities of production to lower the overall cost.
Furthermore, organic vegetable farming does not use chemicals and toxic substances which increase the cost for natural fertilizers along with the high cost of obtaining organic certifications. This scenario is expected to hurt the organic vegetable farming market’s growth in the coming years.
