The 18th Survey on organic agriculture world-wide

7

› The 18th survey on organic agriculture worldwide was carried out by the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture FiBL in cooperation with partners from all around the world. The results were published jointly by FiBL and IFOAM – Organics International.

› The survey was carried out between July 2016 and February 2017.

› Data were received from 179 countries.

› New countries included: Brunei Darussalam, Cape Verde, Hong Kong, Kuwait, Monaco, Sierra Leone, and Somalia.

› Updated data on area and producers were available for 161 countries.

› Data was provided by almost 200 country experts (representatives from NGOs, certification bodies, governments, researchers).

› The following data was collected: area data (including land use and crop details); producers, other operator types; domestic market values; export and import data; and livestock data (animal heads and production in metric tons);

› The results are published in the yearbook “The World of Organic Agriculture 2017” and at www.organic-world.net.

General notes on the data› Data sources: For data sources see annex of The World of Organic Agriculture 2017 or

www.organic-world.net/statistics-data-sources.html

› Countries: For countries and territories, the FAO country list is used. Where the designation "country" appears in this report, it covers countries or territories. As to the countries’ grouping by region, the Standard Country and Area Classifications as defined by the United Nations Statistics Division, is used in most cases.

› Term organic: In the tables, the term organic refers to the fully converted and in-conversion areas.

› Share of total agricultural land: In some cases, the calculation of the organic share of the total agricultural land or that of individual crops, based on FAOSTAT and in some cases the Eurostat data, might differ from the organic shares obtained from ministries or local experts.

› Producers: Some countries report the number of smallholders while others report only the number of companies, projects, or grower groups, which may each comprise a number of producers. This applies in particular to many African countries. The number of producers is, therefore, probably higher than the number communicated in this report.

› Data revisions: Should data revisions and correction become necessary these are communicated at the data revision pages of Organic-World.net: http://www.organic-world.net/statistics/statistics-data-revisions.html?L=2.

World: Share of organic land of total agricultural area 2015› The share of the world’s organic agricultural of all agricultural land is 1.1 percent.

› By region, the share is highest in Oceania (5.4 percent), followed by Europe with 2.5 percent and Latin America with 0.9 percent.

› In the European Union, the share of organically managed land is 6.2 percent. In the other regions, the share of organically managed land is less than one percent.

› Eleven countries have 10 percent organic land or more, and 21 countries have between 5 and 10 percent organic land.

› However, almost 60 percent of the countries for which data are available have less than one percent organic agricultural land.

› The country with the highest share is Liechtenstein (30.2 percent), followed by Austria (21.3 percent) and Sweden (16.9 percent).

› It is interesting to note that many island states have high shares of agricultural land under organic management, such as the Falkland Islands (Malvinas) and Samoa.

World: Growth of the organic agricultural land 2015› Compared with the revised data from 2014, the organic agricultural land has

increased by 15 percent in 2015, 6.5 million hectares.

› This increase is mainly due to the fact that 4.4 million additional hectares were reported from Australia. However, many other countries reported an important increase thus contributing to the global increase of the organic land, like the United States (30 percent) and India (64 percent increase), both with an additional 0.5 million hectares, and Spain and France, both with an additional 0.3 million hectares.

› Compared with 1999, when data on organic agriculture worldwide were available for the first time, the organic agricultural land has almost five-fold.

› Ninety-eight countries experienced an increase in the area of their organic agricultural land, while a decrease was reported in 32 countries. In 35 countries, the organic agricultural area either did not change or no new data was received.

World: Further organic areas

› Apart from the organic agricultural land there are further organic areas, the largest part of these are wild collection areas and areas for beekeeping.

› Further areas are aquaculture, forest and grazing areas on non-agricultural land.

› It should be noted, that many countries do not report these areas, as they only communicate the agricultural land.

› The total area for these areas was more than 39.7 million hectares.

› In total, 90.6 million hectares – agricultural land and other areas – were organic in 2015.

World: Wild collection and beekeeping areas

› 39.4 million hectares of wild collection and bee-keeping areas were reported for 2015.

› The wild collection / bee-keeping areas are more or less evenly distributed over four regions: Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America, reflecting quite a different pattern than that for agricultural land.

› The collection of wild harvested crops is defined in the IFOAM Basic Standards (IFOAM 2014), and wild collection activities are regulated in organic laws.

World: The global market for organic food and beverages 2015› In 2015, the global market for

certified organic food and drink was estimated to be 81.6 billion US Dollars according to Organic Monitor (Sahota 2017).

› The turnover with organic products has more than threefold since 2000.

› Ninety percent of the organic product revenues is made in the North America and Europe.

› In 2015, the by far largest market was the United States with 35.8 billion euros of organic food sales, followed by Germany with 8.6 billion euros and France with 5.5 billion euros (FiBL-AMI survey 2017).

› The highest annual per capita consumption was in Switzerland (262 euros) and in Denmark(191 euros) (FiBL-AMI survey 2017).

› Denmark, Switzerland and Luxembourg have the highest share of organic food sales. In 2015 total food market value was not available for most of the countries, and it was therefore not possible to calculate the organic share for most countries.
