Some other research results from Cabinet Office are:
 Ethical consumerism is growing and consumers are now more aware of issues around food production (often highlighted by media attention). Food choices are key to individual expression of political and altruistic choices.
 People buy ethically sourced products to meet health, sustainability and quality needs. Everyday food purchases are now more likely to chosen on ethical grounds, and people are more likely to make ethical choices about food rather than clothing or other household goods.
According to Soil Association organic market report 2006, It is estimated that retail sales of organic products in the UK were worth approximately ￡1.6 Billion, an increase of 30% on 2005. Retail sales made through producer-owned outlets, such as box schemes, mail order, shops and farmers’ markets, increased by approximately 11% to ￡125 million.
Approximately 66% of the organic primary produce sold in multiple retailers was worked in the UK in 2005. In chapter three the researcher will discuss more information about retail on organic food issue.

Chapter Three. The consumer needs
In ‘Marketing trends for Organic Food in the 21st Century’,  George Baourakis discussed that, in general, the overall image of organic products seems to be positive from the consumer point of view, since they are considered to be healthier, better tasting, more environmentally beneficial and their quality is as good as that of traditionally grown products.
From CabinetOffice, research suggests consumers of organic food have more complex belief structures than other shoppers. Figure 3.1 shows the different consumer demand about consumers of organic food.
