Posted by ORGANIC food is still selling well world wide despite the recession.
In Australia, supermarkets are still selling good portions of organic foods despite their more expensive nature compared to their comparative foods.
Even those things such as organic shampoos and cosmetics are still being consistently bought.
And internationally it seems, supermarket sales of environmentally sustainable or ‘ethical’ products are set to rise by 8.7 per cent to nearly $38 billion this year, according to a report in The Telegraph in London.
Perhaps even more surprising is that organic food is booming in Eastern Europe.
In Poland almost every supermarket sells it, while the sales of an organic online shop more than doubled in a year.
In Romania sales of the pesticide-free produce in the first half of this year were more than 15 times higher than in the equivalent period in 2008 in 21 supermarkets owned by the French chain Carrefour. And in Hungary weekly organic markets are being held all over the country.
So the environmentally free people are still paying extra for those natural ingredients but they are prepared to continue even if the tough times financially continue.
It appears that nature is thicker than money for some people.
