The organic vegetable farming market consists of production and sales for organic vegetables and related services. Organic farming refers to the method of crop production that involves the use of biologicals materials in order to prevent the use of synthetic pesticides, genetically modified organisms, antibiotics, and fertilizers. Organic farming provides high-quality and healthy food to humans together with protecting the environment from pollution, soil degradation, and erosion to optimize biological productivity.
North America was the largest region in the organic vegetable farming market in 2019. Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region in the forecast period.
The high cost of organic farming in comparison with conventional farming is predicted to limit the growth of the organic vegetable farming market. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations (UN), the prices for organic food are higher than that of conventional products attributing to greater labor inputs and other costs incurred to produce high quantities of production to lower the overall cost. Furthermore, organic vegetable farming does not use chemicals and toxic substances which increases the cost for natural fertilizers along with the high cost for obtaining organic certifications. This scenario is to have a negative impact on the organic vegetable farming market’s growth in the coming years.

The launch of various schemes by the governments of various countries across the world is promoting organic farming. Due to health benefits and environmental benefits offered by organic products, the governments are promoting organic farming activities by launching various schemes and encouraging the population to shift towards organic products.

Other schemes for promotions of organic farming include Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) and Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH) and Network Project for Organic Farming. The launch of similar schemes worldwide is likely to provide ample avenues for organic vegetable farming market’s growth in the near future.
In August 2018, BASF closed the acquisition of Bayer’s global vegetable seeds business, operating under the Nunhems brand for an amount of USD 8.1 billion (EUR7.6 billion). The acquisition is expected to expand the BASF’s product portfolio for the farmers. Bayer’s vegetable seeds business includes 24 crops and about 2,600 varieties. Nunhems B.V. was founded in 1917 and offers market-oriented varieties and vegetable seeds products across the globe.
Rising demand for organic food is anticipated to act as a major driver for the growth of the organic vegetable farming market during the period. The health benefits offered by organic food such as high nutritional content, non-GMO, and free from synthetic pesticides & fertilizers tend to be a key factor for augmented demand for organic food including organic vegetables. Due to the beneficial impact on the health of organic growers, assistants, their families and customers, as they are less exposed to harmful chemicals, the increasing consumers’ preferences for organic food is projected to generate higher demand for organic vegetable farming during the forecast period.
