Oliver Moore: Local and regional Brexit impacts

John Purcell of Good Herdsman says that up to 40% of organic sales have been impacted by Brexit.

“The organic food industry in Western Europe and the US has been experiencing a prolonged period of high single-digit to low double-digit sales growth — and, on the back of ongoing health, food safety, and environmental and animal welfare concerns by consumers — Rabobank expects this trend to continue.”

The Rabobank October 2016 report, authored by senior consumer foods analyst John David Roeg, predicts Western Europe sales to grow by 6.7% and the US by an even more impressive 7.6%.
