Report highlights include:

• Major retail grew 7%, with cost-of-living pressures driving consumers to seek deals in discounters and via loyalty card promotions.

• Organic unit sales continue to outpace non-organic in major retail by four times.

• Retailer share of trade has shifted, demonstrating how a focused approach to ranging and promotions can attract new shoppers.

• Consumer demand for organic remains strong, with rising awareness around pesticides, ultra-processed foods and nutrient density driving shoppers to seek more organic whole foods.

• Organic farming cannot keep pace with customer demand and remains stuck on 3% of UK farmland – with the market heavily reliant on imports.

• Following the launch of a funded Scottish Organic Action Plan earlier this year, there is an opportunity for England who now lags behind the rest of the UK in government support for organic.
