In retail, organic products are present in virtually every major supermarket chain, and the number of organic markets is steadily increasing. Consumers are paying close attention to the provenance and certification that guarantee the quality of the food they consume. Organic products are those obtained within a sustainable agro-extractive production system.

product sales have grown by more than 40% in Brazil. Furthermore, more than half of those surveyed are concerned about the quality of their food (62.1%), and 46.6% say they consume organic food every day.

The history of organic products is recent. It began in the early 20th century, but it shop wasn't until 2001 that major markets, the United States and Europe, began to focus on regulating and creating control mechanisms to ensure quality and credibility with end consumers.

Brazil also began this process in 2003, enacting Law 10,831 under the umbrella of agroecology and family farming. "Regulation came in 2011, with the creation of a mandatory national seal that provides the credibility consumers need," emphasizes Vininha F. Carvalho, editor of Ecotour News & Negócios Magazine ( ).

In Brazil, Law No. 10.831/2003 regulates organic products, and regulations vary depending on the market. The three main ones are: BR (domestic market), EOS-CE (European Union), and USDA-NOP (United States).

The growth in the consumption of organic products reflects greater consumer awareness in the search for increasingly healthier and less industrialized products, which in the production process minimize the environmental impact, which guarantees to be safe, good for health and which can be adopted in health prevention programs,” emphasizes Vininha F. Carvalho.
