May. 17, 2023Orgánicos/EE.UU: Ventas superaron los US$ 61 mil millones
Organic food sales in the U.S. topped $60 billion for the first time in 2022, almost doubling 2021’s growth and now accounting for 6% of total food sales in the nation.
The 2023 Organic Industry Survey, released today by the Organic Trade Association, found that total organic sales, including nonfood products, hit a record $67.6 billion in 2022.
The sector’s 4% growth was nearly twice the pace of 2021. Organic food sales totaled $61.7 billion.
The organic food market grew despite inflation, supply chain disruption stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic and global political events, competing food labels and a labor shortage, the survey found. Inflation boosted prices in the overall food sector, increase reflected in the rising value of organic sales even as volume in some categories dipped.
“Organic has proven it can withstand short-term economic storm,” OTA CEO Tom Chapman said in a news release. “Despite the fluctuation of any given moment, Americans are still investing in their personal health, and, with increasing interest, in the environment, and organic is the answer.
“Organic’s fundamental values remain strong, and consumers have demonstrated they will come back time and again because the organic system is verified and better for people, the planet and the economy.”
Produce takes top spot
Sales of organic produce once again topped all organic categories, totaling $22 billion and accounting for 15% of all fruit and vegetable sales in the U.S.
Organic beverages were the second best-selling organic category, reporting $9 billion in sales in 2022, up 4% from 2021. Organic coffee maintained its position as the biggest-selling organic beverage, up almost 7% from the previous year with almost $2.3 billion in sales. Organic soft drinks and enhanced drinks broke through $500 million in sales at $503 million and saw robust growth of almost 14%.
