Organic sales grow by 17.8% in Denmark
It is a further acceleration compared to an already significant growth of 12 per cent seen in 2015.
Rasmus Sarauw-Nielsen, Retail Analytics Nordic Leader at Nielsen, said that the positive growth is a result of the major focus on organic ranges by supermarket chains, along with marketing to enhance development.
Organic lines are now so widespread among Danes that it has become a competitive advantage for supermarkets and discount stores. This has led to an increased marketing of the organic range across the retail sector, which in turn has helped to accelerate organic consumption.
