Even if the price increases on the commodities, the sells of organic products continue to climb. One poultry famer situated near to Paris since 1990 has chosen the transform these processes of production adapted to organic food. However, these grounds were sufficiently large for raise 12 000 chickens but these investments and the subsidies of French government have convinced this farmer to continue to do organic products.

The price of these organic eggs for instance is twice more expensive that the egg sold in the supermarket, about 2 € the half-dozen. Nevertheless, the organic market resist to inflation on the price but he is worrying following the mergers and acquisition of large organic factories which buyingthe medium company in order to realized the economies of scale.The scare is that organic market becomes a mass market. Also the successive waves of deceases bring by the classic food market like E-coli recently bring a new interest of the organic products sane, without adding of chemical product or sweetener. In more the values of good health and well-being are more in more seeking by the people. But is it the great companies like Distriborg in French or Abel & Cole in Britain could maintain the products of quality excepted by the consumers.


It’s not sure, because the consolidation of companies implies often the large profits regardless the quality. Adding that this food industry sector increases in Europe and United-States. In plus, the emergent markets plebiscite these products. Otherwise,organic activity includes other fields like cosmetic, textile, heath products. Thus, other great companies are very interested to diffuse these products on the mass market in order to reach a large clientele. Beside, the outlooks of growth are according to the economists around of 5%. We should see in the next years the development of new supermarket or mall supplying uniquely the organic food. Only the rich people should buy this products and the spread between the richest and poorest will be again more important.
