Organic agriculture in Africa 2010
› In Africa, there were1.08 million hectares of certified organic agricultural land (data
2010).
› This constitutes about three percent of the world’s organic agricultural land.
› Almost 550’000 producers were reported.
› The countries with the most organic land are Uganda (228’419 hectares), Tunisia
(175’066 hectares), and Ethiopia (137’196 hectares).
› The highest shares of organic land are in Sao Tome and Prince (7.9 percent), Egypt (2.2
percent), and Sierra Leone (1.9 percent).
› The majority of certified organic produce in Africa is destined for export markets; in
Uganda the export value for organic products was 37 million US dollars in 2009/2010.
› The European Union, as the major recipient of these exports, is Africa’s largest market
for agricultural produce.

Latin America: Key figures 2010
› In Latin America, more than 270’000 producers managed 8.4
million hectares of agricultural land organically in 2010.
› This constitutes 23 percent of the world’s organic land and 1.4
percent of the regions agricultural land.
› The leading countries are Argentina (4.2 million hectares), Brazil
(1.8 million hectares), and Uruguay (90.93 million hectares).
› The highest shares of organic agricultural land are in the Falkland
Islands/Malvinas (35.9 percent), the Dominican Republic (8.5
percent), and French Guiana (7.8 percent).
www.fibl.org
Latin America: Key figures 2010
› Most organic products from Latin American countries are sold on the European,
North American or Japanese markets. Popular goods are especially those that
cannot be produced in these regions, as well as off-season products. Thus, the
development of robust local markets is still a major challenge, without which the
sustainability of organic production cannot be achieved. Important crops are
tropical fruits, grains and cereals, coffee, cocoa, sugar, and meats. Most organic
food sales in the domestic markets of the countries occur in major cities.
› Twenty-two countries have legislation on organic farming, and two additional
countries are currently developing organic regulations. Costa Rica and
Argentina have both attained Third Country status according to the EU
regulation on organic farming.

Organic Agriculture in North America: Key figures 2010
› In North America, almost 2.7 million hectares are managed organically, of
these nearly two million in the United States and 0.7 million in Canada.
› This represents approximately 0.7 percent of the total agricultural area in the
region and 7 percent of the world’s organic agricultural land.
› Organic product sales in 2010 grew by 7.8 percent overall, to reach 28.7 billion
US dollars.
› Of that figure, 26.7 billion US dollars represented organic food or 4 percent of
the food market. The remaining 2 billion were sales of organic non-foods. In
Canada, organic food sales were 2.6 billion Canadian dollars.
› Projections for 2011 and beyond indicate higher growth rates for organic sales
in North America.

› This constitutes 2.9 percent of the agricultural land in the area and 33 percent
of the world’s organic land.
› Ninety-nine percent of the organic land in the region is in Australia (12 million
hectares, 97 percent of which is extensive grazing land), followed by New
Zealand (124’463 hectares), and Samoa (9’714 hectares).
› The highest shares of all agricultural land are in Samoa (7.9 percent),
followed French Polynesia (3.8 percent), Niue (3.2 percent), and Australia (2.9
percent).

Organic agriculture in Oceania: Key figures 2010
› Growth in the organic industry in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands
has been strongly influenced by rapidly growing overseas demand; domestic
markets are, however, also growing. In Australia it was at 947 million Australian
dollars in 2009 and in New Zealand at 350 million New Zealand dollars.
› The biggest change in the Australian domestic market over 2009 was that the
Australian Standard for Organic and Biodynamic Products was adopted and
published by Standards Australia.
› The year 2010 marked a milestone for the Pacific Region:
The International Organic Accreditation Service (www.ioas.org) assessed the
Pacific Organic Standard (POS) and found it to be equivalent to the standards
requirements of the European Union’s organic regulations.
