In the past two years, retail sales of Australian organic produce have grown more than 50 per cent (from $623 million to $947 million), and were expected to pass $1 billion for the first time in 2010, according to the 2010 Australian Organic Market Report. To put this in context, Australian organic sector sales make up just one per cent of total sales of agricultural products, but compare well to mid-earning export industries such as seafood and nuts.
