Organic Food Sales Set New Records In Denmark

Organic food sales in Denmark increased by 9% year-on-year in 2019, to DKK 14.1 billion (€1.89 billion), accounting for 12% of total sales, according to the latest data from Statistics Denmark.

Organic milk, grains, flour and vegetables emerged on top of the Danish shopping list, but other product categories also saw a significant increase in demand, indicating that organic food has become mainstream for most Danes.

The desire for more organic products among Danish consumers is also reflected in the constant growth in organic food sales over the past five years.

This constant growth has been attributed to the desire for clean, healthy and sustainable food items, as well as the increased availability of innovative and interesting organic products.
