Consumer behaviour

Since the mid 1990s organic products have increasingly been sold through wholesalers. The retail chains vary in terms of their commitment to and their success in the sale of organic products. Differences in their strategic objectives as well as in marketing would appear to be factors limiting success.

  • Optimization of the presentation of organic products in the shops.
  • International supermarket trend studies.
  • Development of marketing strategies for organic products.
  • Analysis of the added value chain for organic products.
