Although affluent shoppers bought roughly the same amount of produce last year, Mintel said sales were rising among lower-income consumers.
Fruit and vegetables had sales of £442m this year, making up 37% of the total market.
But the biggest rise is in meat and poultry sales – up nearly 150% between 2000 and 2005. An estimated 26% of consumers had bought organic meat in the last 12 months, up from 19% in 2001.
Another proof that anything related to organic will be soaring in the coming years.
