In 2022, India was the leading organic food producing country in the world, measured by number of producers. In that year, India had over one million organic food producers, which is more than the number of all organic food producers in the other nine leading countries in the world combined.
Organic food consumption
Switzerland and Denmark are the two leading countries in terms of organic food consumption per capita, annually they are consuming approximately 418 and 384 euros worth of organic food products, respectively. Out of the ten leading countries with the highest organic food per capita consumption, the first seven are all in Europe. In eighth and ninth place were the United States and Canada, respectively.
Organic Agriculture
There are approximately 75 million hectares of organic farmland worldwide. Although India had the highest number of organic food producers, Australia had by far the largest share of organic agricultural land worldwide. Australia’s share was approximately half of the total organic farmland on the globe. To put this in perspective, Australia was followed by Argentina and China, which had a share of 5.08 percent and 4.39 percent, respectively.
