Organic food still "too expensive"

Consumers still find organic food too expensive, despite retailer price cuts, an independent survey has found. Seventy-five per cent of respondents had never bought organic food.

But the Soil Association said it was “encouraged” by the survey. “Consumers are being thwarted in their efforts to support organic food and farming through lack of availability,” said Association producer services manager Simon Brenman.
