The organic food market is now the most dynamic and rapidly growing sector of the global food industry. Over the last few years, organic food consumption has grown dramatically in Canada, exceeding the growth of the organic agriculture sector.

• In 2012, Canada’s organic market was worth an estimated $3.7 billion.
• Organic foods now make up 1.7% of total food sales, and 58% of Canadians buy organic products every week (COTA, 2013).
• Sales of organic products in the United States jumped to $35.1 billion in 2013, up 11.5% from the previous year.
