Within this market, organic foods have grown quickly into a GBP 107 million market but face an uncertain future. The largest sector is fresh fruit and vegetable, reaching GBP 65 million in 1991. High prices and quality problems have led to market uncertainty. Organic meat market has benefited from doubts about safety of traditionally reared meat.
