In Africa, there are slightly more than one million hectares of certified
organic agricultural land (data 2009).
This constitutes about three percent of the world’s organic
agricultural land.
500’000 producers were reported.
The countries with the most organic land are Uganda (226'954
hectares), Tunisia (167'302 hectares), and Ethiopia (122'727
hectares).
The highest shares of organic land are in Sao Tome and Prince (6.5
percent), Sierra Leone (1.8 percent), and Uganda (1.7 percent).
The majority of certified organic produce in Africa is destined for
export markets; in Uganda the export value for organic products was
37 million US dollars in 2009/2010.
The European Union, as the major recipient of these exports, is
Africa’s largest market for agricultural produce. Tunisia was accepted
under the EU’s Third Country List in 2009.

Organic Agriculture in Asia – Key Figures 2009
› The total organic agricultural area in Asia is nearly 3.6
million hectares.
› This constitutes ten percent of the world’s organic
agricultural land.
› There were 731'315 producers reported.
› The leading countries by area are China (1.9 million
hectares) and India (1.2 million hectares).
› Timor-Leste has the most organic agricultural area as a
proportion of total agricultural land (almost seven
percent).

The region hosts a wide range of organic sector development
scenarios, from early development to highly regulated. Far from the
marginal position it held previously, organic is now an accepted
concept and growing market trend in the region.
Whilst export remains the dominant feature of sector development in
the majority of developing countries in the region, local markets have
emerged and are gaining ground.
Primarily a market driven sector, government policy is an emerging
and significant sector development factor today in many countries.
Although domestic market size is still relatively small, the high value
and profile associated with organic has led to civil society (consumer)
calls and governments’ interest to regulate the sector. Seven markets
have implemented
organic labeling regulations (i.e., China, India, Japan, South Korea,
Philippines, Taiwan, and Malaysia). Others, Sri Lanka and Nepal
have established government competent authorities.
A major event— The 17th IFOAM Organic World Congress —will be
held in Korea in autumn 2011.

The increase of organic agricultural land in 2004 is due to a major expansion in China,
partly due to government support. Much of these areas were grazing areas which, however,
ceased to be certified in 2005, hence the drop of the organic agricultural area in Asia in that
year.

The market was 18.4 billion euros, an increase of roughly five
percent compared with 2009. The market grew at smaller rates than
in previous years even though some countries like France and
Sweden showed strong growth.
The largest market for organic products in 2009 was Germany with a
turnover of 5’800 million euros, followed by France (3'041 million
euros) and the UK (2'065 million euros).
As a portion of the total market share, the highest levels have been
reached in Denmark, Austria and Switzerland, with five percent or
more for organic products. The highest per capita spending is also in
these countries.
Support for organic farming in the European Union and neighboring
countries includes grants under rural development programs, legal
protection, and the European as well as national action plans. An
updated overview of European action plans shows that currently 26
action plans (including regional action plans) are in place.

Most organic products from Latin American countries are sold on the
European, North American or Japanese markets. Popular goods are
especially those that cannot be produced in these regions, as well as
off-season products. Thus, the development of robust local markets
is still a major challenge, without which the sustainability of organic
production cannot be achieved. Important crops are tropical fruits,
grains and cereals, coffee, cocoa, sugar, and meats. Most organic
food sales in the domestic markets of the countries occur in major
cities.
Eighteen countries have legislation on organic farming, and five
additional countries are currently developing organic regulations.
Costa Rica and Argentina have both attained Third Country status
according to the EU regulation on organic farming.
The types of support in Latin American countries range from organic
agriculture promotion programs to market access support by export
agencies.

Organic Agriculture in North America: Key
figures 2009
› In North America, almost 2.7 million hectares are managed
organically, of these nearly two million in the United States and
0.7 million in Canada.
› This represents approximately 0.7 percent of the total
agricultural area in the region and 7 percent of the world’s
organic agricultural land.
› US sales of organic products continued to grow during 2009
despite the distressed state of the economy. In fact, organic
product sales in 2009 grew by 5.3 percent overall, to reach
26.6 billion US dollars.
› Of that figure, 24.8 billion US dollars represented organic food
or 3.7 percent of the food market. The remaining 1.8 billion
were sales of organic non-foods.
› Projections for 2010 and beyond indicate higher growth rates
for organic sales in North America.

Organic Agriculture in North America: Key

organic foods, the report concludes that the total
Canadian organic market is worth 2 billion Canadian
dollars annually.
› Regarding legislation, representatives from the Canada
Organic Office and the US National Organic Program
have completed a full peer review, in order to monitor and
evaluate how the US-Canada organic equivalence
arrangement is being applied.

Organic agriculture in Oceania: Key figures
2009
› Growth in the organic industry in Australia, New Zealand and
the Pacific Islands has been strongly influenced by rapidly
growing overseas demand; domestic markets are, however,
also growing. In Australia it was at 947 Australian dollars in
2009 and in New Zealand at 350 million New Zealand dollars.
› The biggest change in the Australian domestic market over
2009 was that the Australian Standard for Organic and
Biodynamic Products was adopted and published by
Standards Australia.
› The year 2010 marked a milestone for the Pacific Region:
The International Organic Accreditation Service
(www.ioas.org) assessed the Pacific Organic Standard (POS)
and found it to be equivalent to the standards requirements of
the European Union’s organic regulations.
