The increasing demand for local, sustainable, and organic food production is expected to positively impact the dairy food market during the forecast period. Organic food production, including organic dairy products, places a strong emphasis on consumer health, environmental protection, and animal welfare. Consumers are now becoming more concerned with how food is raised and prepared and are willing to pay a little more for something they recognise as healthy. Across Europe, there is a very high import rate (especially for fruits and vegetables), as the rate of production is far lower than the consumer demand for organic produce. For instance, in June 2022, the Organic Trade Association, a US-based trade association representing over 9,500 organic businesses, between the years 2020 and 2021, organic sales increased by 2% surpassing $ 63 billion as compared to previous years.
