Organic Produce Sales up 5.5 Percent in 2021, Top $9 Billion
Organic fresh produce sales grew by 5.5 percent in 2021, topping $9 billion for the first time, and outpaced conventionally grown produce in year-over-year gains in both sales and volume. Despite the return of foodservice, organic produce sales and volume at retail outlets still showed year- over-year growth in all four quarters of last year. Total organic fresh produce sales for 2021 were $9.2 billion, an increase of $477 million compared to 2020. Working again with Category Partners, the Organic Produce Network has created an annual report highlighting 20 of the leading category performers in organic produce, which will be described individually later on. This sales and performance overview section looks at organic produce’s share of the total fresh produce market, the top 10 organic produce items (by both sales and volume), overall organic produce performance by region, and the year-over-year percentage change in sales for both conventional and organic produce.
