The 21st survey on organic agriculture worldwide

The 21st survey on organic agriculture worldwide was carried out by the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL) in cooperation with partners from all around the world. The results were published jointly by FiBL and IFOAM – Organics International.

The survey was carried out between July 2019 and February 2020.

Data were received from 186 countries.

Updated data on area and producers were available for 142 countries.

Data was provided by over 200 country experts (representatives from NGOs, certification bodies, governments, researchers).

The following data was collected: area data (including land use and crop details); producers and other operator types; domestic market values; export and import data; and livestock data (head of livestock and production in metric tons);

The results are published in the yearbook “The World of Organic Agriculture 2020” and at www.organic-world.net.

General notes on the data

Data sources: For data sources see annex of The World of Organic Agriculture 2020 orwww.organic-world.net/statistics-data-sources.html

Countries: For countries and territories, the FAO country list is used. Where the designation "country" appears in this report, it covers countries or territories. For the countries’ grouping by region, the Standard Country and Area Classifications as defined by the United Nations Statistics Division, is used in most cases.

Term organic: In the tables, the term organic refers to the fully converted and in-conversion areas.

Organic share: In some cases, the calculation of the organic share of the total agricultural land or that of individual crops, based on FAOSTAT and in some cases the Eurostat data, might differ from the organic shares obtained from ministries or local experts.

Producers: Some countries report the number of smallholders while others only report the number of companies, projects, or grower groups, which may each comprise a number of producers. This applies in particular to many African countries. The number of producers is, therefore, probably higher than the number communicated in this report.

Data revisions: Should data revisions and correction become necessary these are communicated at the data revision pages of Organic-World.net: http://www.organic-world.net/statistics/statistics-data-revisions.html?L=2.

World: Organic agricultural land by region 2018

Currently 71.5 million hectares are under organic agricultural management (end of 2018 for most data).

The distribution of the organic agricultural land is as follows:

• Oceania (16.0 million hectares);

• Europe (15.6 million hectares);

• Latin America (8.0 million hectares);

• Asia (6.5 million hectares);

• North America (3.3 million hectares);

• Africa (2.0 million hectares).

Oceania has half of the global organic agricultural land. Europe, a region that has had a very constant growth of organic land over the years, has over 22 percent of the world’s organic agricultural land followed by Latin America with 11 percent.

Apart from the organic agricultural land, there are further organic areas such as wild collection areas. These areas constitute more than 35.7 million hectares.

Australia is the country with the most organic agricultural land, 97 percent of which is estimated to be extensive grazing area.

Argentina is second, followed by China in third place.

The ten countries with the most organically managed agricultural land have a combined total of 56 million hectares and constitute three-quarters of the world’s organic agricultural land.

World: Share of organic land of total agricultural area2018

1.5 percent of the global agricultural land is organic.

By region, the share is highest in Oceania (8.6 percent), followed by Europe with 3.1percent and Latin America with 1.1 percent.

In the European Union, the share of organically managed land is 7.7 percent. In the other regions, the share of organically managed land is less than one percent.

Sixteeen countries have 10 percent organic land or more, and 15 countries have between 5 and 10 percent organic land.

However, almost 57 percent of the countries for which data are available have less than one percent organic agricultural land.

The country with the highest share is Liechtenstein (38.5 percent), followed by the Samoa (34.5 percent) and Austria (24.7 percent).

It is interesting to note that many island states have high shares of agricultural land under organic management, such as Samoa and Sao Tome and Principe.

World: Growth of the organic agricultural land 2018

Organic agriculture land increased by 2.9% (2.02 million hectares) between 2017 and 2018.

Many countries reported a significant increase, for instance France (16.7 percent increase; over 0.29 million hectares more) and Uruguay (14.1 percent increase; almost 0.26 million hectares more). In addition, Argentina (7.2 percent increase; almost 0.24 million hectares more) and Viet Nam (almost 0.18 million hectares more) reported significant increases.

Compared with 1999, when 11 million hectares were organic, organic agricultural land has increased more than six-fold.

Ninety-eight countries experienced an increase in the area of their organic agricultural land, while a decrease was reported in 39 countries. In 41 countries, the organic agricultural area either did not change, or no new data was received.

World: Further organic areas

Apart from the organic agricultural land there are further organic areas; the largest part of these are wild collection areas and areas for beekeeping.

Further areas are aquaculture, forest and grazing areas on non-agricultural land.

It should be noted, that many countries do not report these areas, as they only communicate the agricultural land.

The total area for these areas was more than 35.7 million hectares.

In total, 107.2 million hectares – agricultural land and other areas –were organic in 2018.

www.fibl.org

World: Wild collection and beekeeping areas

Over 35.1 million hectares of wild collection and beekeeping areas were reported for 2018.

The wild collection / beekeeping areas are distributed over four regions: Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America, reflecting quite a different pattern than that for agricultural land.

The collection of wild harvested crops is defined in the IFOAM Basic Standards (IFOAM 2014), and wild collection activities are regulated by organic laws.

World: Organic producers 2018

For the current survey, a total of 2.8 million organic producers was reported,

According to the data obtained, over 90 percent of the producers are located in Asia, Africa, and Europe.

The country with the most producers is India (1’149’371), followed by Uganda (210’352) and Ethiopia (203’602).

There was a decrease of more than 140’000 producers compared to 2017, or 5.0 percent.

It should be noted that not all certifiers reported the number of producers; the number is probably higher than 2.8 million.
