Only 13.8% of boys know what organic foods are. Nearly half, 45.4%, of adolescents, irrespective of sex, are fully aware of organic foods.

Restraint: High Cost

Price has been a key factor limiting the growth of the organic food market. Although purchasing power is increasing, most people remain impoverished. The selling ratio of organic and non-organic food products stands at 01:10.

Organic products command a premium price that doubles the cost of non-organic ones since it involves the cost of farmer training, processing, transportation, inventory holding, packing, farmer premium, and retailer margin. Thus, such expenses make organic food expensive, thereby restraining the market.
