Jan 15, 2009: According to organic food association BÖLW, organic food sales in Germany rose by approximately 10 percent to € 5.8 bn in 2008. Market drivers were dairy products as well as packaged goods. 50 new bio supermarkets with a sales area exceeding 300 sqm were opened last year while quite a lot of small stores closed. For 2009, expectations for the organic food category remain confident despite the looming economic crisis.
