Market Overview

Organic farming is an ancient agricultural approach or technique that tries to use chemical-free products to preserve the overall integrity of crops. It is often referred to as biological farming or environmental farming. Most modern agricultural practices rely on chemically induced fertilizers and insecticides to cultivate crops. The United Kingdom organic farming market is expanding, aided by favorable government policies and incentives. The government gives frequent updates on organic crops, livestock, and producers, as well as subsidies to help farmers shift to organic practices. This assistance allows farmers to make informed judgments about organic farming adoption. For instance, the UK had more than 470,000 hectares of organic farming land as of 2022. There are just over 315,000 hectares of organic and in-conversion farmland in England, which makes up the majority of the land. Furthermore, improvements in farming practices are driving growth in the United Kingdom's organic farming market. Crop rotation, composting, green manure, and biological pest control are just a few of the organic farming techniques that are constantly improved through ongoing research and development. These advancements increase agriculture's overall sustainability while also increasing productivity and efficiency.

Driving Factors

A growing number of farmers in the United Kingdom (UK) are adopting organic farming practices due to their many advantages. Using fewer pesticides and increasing soil carbon storage are two of the practices' many advantages; they also support sustainable agriculture and are essential in combating climate change. In addition, the government of the United Kingdom has demonstrated initiative in promoting organic agricultural methods by consistently providing yearly data on organic crops, livestock, and growers. These figures provide farmers thinking about switching to organic practices with useful information about the market and possible prospects. Additionally, the market for organic farming is growing because the demand for organic products exceeds the sales of organic farming. Growing consumer emphasis on eco-friendly items is driving up demand for organic products, which in turn is driving up the UK market for organic farming.

Restraining Factors

In the United Kingdom, where land is scarce, this presents a big challenge. The scarcity of adequate and affordable land for expansion is a unique problem for small organic farms, which compete with bigger conventional businesses for accessible land resources. Limited land availability has a direct impact on the organic food market's growth. Production constraints, such as low yields and limited land availability, make it difficult to supply the growing demand for organic products.

Market Segment

• In 2023, the fruits and vegetables segment accounted for the largest revenue share over the forecast period.

Based on food type, the United Kingdom organic farming market is segmented into oilseeds and pulses, fruits and vegetables, cereals and grains, organic livestock, and others. Among these, the fruits and vegetables segment accounted for the largest revenue share over the forecast period. One of the key causes of rising demand for high-quality food products with health advantages among UK consumers is a growing health consciousness. With an aging population, people are becoming more conscious of the significance of staying healthy.

• In 2023, the weed management segment is witnessing significant growth over the forecast period.

Based on method, the United Kingdom organic farming market is segmented into weed management, crop rotation, mulching, cutting, composting, soil management, polyculture, and others. Among these, the weed management segment is witnessing significant growth over the forecast period. Weed management is the removal and de-growth of undesirable plants that sprout from organic plants. It entails cutting away the undesired crop or mulching the plant's surface to prevent it from growing back. Mulching involves removing the undesired crop and sliding a plastic sheet over the area to ensure the crop's future growth. Because of its ease of use, the approach is becoming more popular. Furthermore, this farming strategy allows for a more convenient management process, which is one of the most common concerns in organic farming. Because this farming technique provides an important option for increasing crop yield, it helps to increase the organic farming market.
