Organic Milk Market Dynamics

Increasing government initiatives

National governments across the globe are encouraging organic farming practices among conventional farmers by launching educational campaigns and providing technical as well as monetary assistance.  For instance, the Government of India is offering incentives for the cultivation of natural food products under the National Horticulture Mission. Similarly, the EU has adopted new rules for organic production and labeling to guarantee fair competition for farmers and operators. The introduction of clean labels to the global market has further influenced the growth of the market as consumers’ confidence regarding the impact of what they consume is being rejuvenated. Clean labels and food and safety concerns are closely related aspects that are witnessing wide acceptance in the organic milk space. Increasing adoption of clean labels in order to rejuvenate consumer confidence regarding the product they consume has impacted sales of organic milk. Moreover, the use of a clean label in organic milk packaging on the back of increasing preference for GMO-free organic milk is expected to trigger its demand in the forthcoming years. Cattle that have been fed with organic nutrients devoid of antibiotics are the main source of organic milk. The report from the World Health Organization (WHO) regarding the adverse effect of the consumption of cattle fed with antibiotics has created a surge in demand for organic milk in the global market. All milk in the US is required to be tested for antibiotics prior to processing, as mandated by the US Food and Drug Administration through the Grade A Pasteurized Milk Ordinance. The FDA reports milk antibiotic test results, and in 2020, only 0.010% of all US milk had an antibiotic residue.

However, the growth of organic milk is expected to witness a sluggish rate with the availability of cheaper alternatives such as soy milk or almond milk. The pricing of organic milk is relatively higher than conventional milk, which is another major factor restricting the market growth.

COVID-19 Impact on Organic Milk Market

The covid-19 pandemic has led to growing awareness towards healthy and nutritional diet among consumers. This has resulted in a demand spike for organic milk across the globe. During the COVID 19 pandemic, the demand for organic food went up as consumers perceived them as being healthier and good for immunity. In India, there has been a paradigm shift post the 2020 pandemic as consumers began to buy more organic foods as a preventive health measure. This change in perception is likely to drive the growth of the organic milk market in future as well. A team of researchers from the INRAE Occitanie-Toulouse center has studied the resilience of French organic dairy cattle farms and supply chains during the COVID-19 pandemic, which was very little affected by the crisis. Of the 86 farms that responded to the survey, 38 farmers reported no impact from the crisis and 43 others experienced minor impacts on aspects such as their income. Very few were affected by problems with the availability of workers. The vast majority of these farms were self-sufficient for livestock feed and relied mainly on grassland. Thus, no farmer reported shortages in the supply of feed or other inputs nor related impacts on the technical functioning of the farm and its productivity.
