ITC Study On The Market For Organic Products In The USA

A study on the market for organic products in the USA has been published on the Internet by the International Trade Centre (ITC). It contains detailed information on the organic market and describes marketing channels and market access possibilities for companies from abroad. The growing consumer awareness of health and the environment and the rejection of genetic engineering are regarded as the decisive driving force behind a surge of activity. The United States, with a market of 8 billion dollars (2000), represent the largest market for organic products in the world and sales of 20 billion dollars are expected by 2005. Many addresses and references to Internet sites make the 38-page documentation a helpful tool for getting to know the US market.
