Thanks to the boost in supply of organic and natural products, including dairy, and increased demand for such products on the part of consumers, the organic and natural market continues to grow. Tied to this growth is a clean-label movement that doesn’t appear to be waning anytime soon.
The Washington, D.C.-based Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) estimates that sales of total organic milk products for February 2018 were 205 million pounds, up 1% from February 2017. Sales were up 1.7% January through February this year compared to the same period in 2017.
