Organic agriculture struggling to survive and develop
Although consumers have paid attention to organic vegetables for many years, organic agriculture is still struggling to survive and develop.
The high price of organic veggies makes it impossible to consume well. Moreover, many dishonest traders have mixed unclean vegetables with organic ones eroding consumers’ trusts. Organic agricultural production models have developed quite rapidly, especially since groups of young people in forums on social networks say that they return to their hometowns to make safe vegetables to earn a living.
Growing organic vegetables does not cost as much fertilizer as regular vegetables with chemical fertilizers but the technical process must strictly comply with natural farming requirements. Therefore, productivity is very low and labor costs are high, leading to prices 2-3 times more expensive than regular vegetables.
