Organic food market value 2011-2022

Since 2011, the Italian market value of food products has increased constantly to approximately five billion euros as of 2022. By organic food is meant food produced through organic farming, where the use of pesticides and fertilizers is limited under legal standards. In June 2019, Italian supermarkets generated revenues of about 767 million euros from organic food, followed by hypermarkets with 548 million euros.  More organic food on the table   The trends of recent years showed that organic food consumers are increasing. In 2018, the percentage of regular consumers who usually consumed organic food seemed to grow. A survey conducted in 2017 indicated that fruits and vegetables were the most purchased organic goods, together with eggs. These food categories had a preference of 75.2 and 46.2 percent, respectively. Further, hen eggs saw the greatest growth value in annual sales between 2017 and 2018.  The better the quality, the higher the price   Organic food products are of course more expensive than the normal ones. A study on food prices conducted in Italy reported that in 2018, one liter of organic milk costed 0.60 cent more than the normal equivalent. The price difference was greater for other articles: on average, organic wheat costed nearly the double of non-organic wheat.

自2011年以来，意大利食品产品的市场价值持续增长，截至2022年已达到约五十亿欧元。所谓有机食品，是指依据有机农业标准，限制使用农药和化肥生产的食品。2019年6月，意大利超市通过有机食品实现了约7.67亿欧元的收入，紧随其后的是超级市场，其收入为5.48亿欧元。近年来，餐桌上的有机食品趋势不断上升，有机食品消费者数量呈现增长态势。2018年，常规消费者中通常消费有机食品的比例似乎有所增长。一项在2017年进行的调查显示，水果和蔬菜是最受欢迎的有机商品，其次是鸡蛋。这些食品类别分别享有75.2%和46.2%的偏好率。此外，在2017年至2018年间的年度销售额中，鸡蛋的增长价值最为显著。优质优价，有机食品产品无疑比普通食品更为昂贵。一项在意大利进行的食品价格研究显示，2018年，一升有机牛奶比普通牛奶贵0.60欧元。其他商品的价格差异更大：平均而言，有机小麦的价格几乎是非有机小麦的两倍。
