Growing demand for organic food in France

Article Abstract:

Organic food products are chosen by French consumers for their quality, health benefits and taste, according to the European Federation of Processors of Organic Agricultural Products. The 'bio' market is growing by 15% a year and had sales of 3 billion in 1993. Monoprix, a supermarket chain, has its own label range of organic products, but believes that the organic sector is hindered by a lack of a well organised supply chain for products.
