The Global Organic Survey 2010

The global organic survey 2010 as well as the production of the yearbook ‚The World of Organic Agriculture‘ was carried out with the support of International Trade Centre, Geneva The Swiss State Secretariat of Economic Affairs SECO, Berne Nürnberg Messe, the organizers of the BioFach Organic Trade Fair Hivos (data collection Africa)

Global organic survey 2010

The eleventh survey on organic agriculture world-wide was carried out by FiBL and IFOAM. Data and information was provided by 180 country experts, (representatives from NGOs, certification bodies, governments, researchers) The survey was carried out between July 2009 and January 2010. Most data collected are from 2008, for some countries for 2009, for some countries only older data are available. Data were received from 154 countries/areas (previous survey: 141 countries/areas). The results are published in the yearbook ‚The World of Organic Agriculture‘ and at www.organic-world.net.

Key data

35 million hectares of agricultural land are managed organically In addition to the certified organic agricultural land (including in-conversion areas) there are:

0.4 million hectares of organic aquaculture areas 31.1 million hectares of organic wild collection and bee keeping areas 0.3 million hectares of further non-agricultural land

More than one third of the world‘s organic agricultural land is in Oceania (35%) , followed by Europe and Latin America (both 23%). Eight countries have more than 1 million hectares of organic agricultural land. Six countries/areas have more than 10 percent organic land. 1.4 million organic producers were reported.

Summary

The organic agricultural land area (35 million hectares in 2008) has increased by 3 million hectares

  • r 9 % between 2007 and 2008.

In some countries/areas and for some crops the growth rates were considerably higher. The organic agricultural land has increased in most countries/areas and in all geographical regions. 1.4 million organic producers (up 0.2 million from 2007) were reported. For more and more countries data on organic agriculture are available; but data collection and processing need to be improved in many countries.
