Posts with tag supply and demand

Hoard up on organics! There's a shortage!

organic labelPeople dedicated to eating an organic lifestyle don't mind paying that dollar or two, or even ten, extra for organic foods.

But with the demand for organic foods increasing at near 20% year over year, not only are prices going to go even higher. Organics might be hard to get your hands on at all.

You'd think that with increased demand, you just have to increase supply. The increase in demand is one side of the problem. The other side is a very low and slow supply that is nowhere near keeping up with the demand, not only domestically, but in China as well.

Lots of companies are trying to manage this by simply switching their food products away from organic. It doesn't mean that their products are bad, it just means that they aren't certified.

Tip of the Day

Your recipe calls for butter or another fat. Depending on the quantity called for, there are different times you should add it.
