The Dutch organic production chain aims to increase its sales by at least 10% annually. This is to be achieved through a widening product range and an expansion in the range and number of sales outlets. The selection of organic products needs to be tailored to consumers’ wishes regarding taste, healthfulness and sustainability. It also needs to be effective in enlarging the consumption of organic products and thus serving the interests of farmers, processors and retail companies.
Constant attention is given to reducing the price gap between organic and conventional products, while at the same time consolidating the position of all stakeholders in the organic chain. Cooperation within the organic sector and with conventional partners is another priority. This will help improve efficiency, using economics of scale and innovations in production, processing, sales and logistics.
