Organic foods were a big draw for US consumers in 2014 as sales of organic products jumped up 11 percent to $39 billion, a record for the industry, according to the annual Organic Trade Association (OTA) survey.
Despite the industry struggling with tight supplies of organic ingredients, organic food sales in 2014, at $35.9 billion, were up 11 percent from 2013 numbers, while organic non-food sales, at $3.2 billion, jumped almost 14 percent for the biggest annual increase in six years.
