Organic Vegetable Farming Market Report 2026

The organic vegetable farming market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $11.21 billion in 2025 to $11.77 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing awareness of environmental protection, rising demand for pesticide-free vegetables, early promotion of organic farming techniques, increasing adoption of traditional composting methods, expansion of small-scale organic vegetable farms.

The organic vegetable farming market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $15.33 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing investment in organic farming technologies, rising consumer shift toward clean-label foods, expansion of protected and climate-resilient organic farming, increasing demand from retail and food-service sectors, strengthening regulatory support for organic certification. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of chemical-free vegetable cultivation, rising preference for soil regeneration and natural fertility practices, growing demand for diverse organic vegetable varieties, expansion of polyculture and integrated organic farming models, strengthening compliance with organic certification standards.

The growing demand for organic food is expected to serve as a major driver of the organic vegetable farming market during the period. The health advantages associated with organic food - such as high nutritional value, non-GMO characteristics, and the absence of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers - are key factors contributing to the rising demand for organic food, including organic vegetables. For example, in February 2025, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), a U.S.-based government agency, stated that in 2024, sales are projected to reach $50.8 billion (€49.2 billion), up from $50.4 billion (€48.8 billion) in 2023, which represented a 10.5% increase from the previous year. Due to the positive effects on the health of organic growers, workers, their families, and consumers - stemming from reduced exposure to harmful chemicals - and the increasing consumer preference for organic food, the demand for organic vegetable farming is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period.

Major companies in the organic vegetable farming market are prioritizing the development of innovative solutions, such as next-generation nitrogen-fixing biofertilizer seed treatments, to reduce dependence on synthetic fertilizers, improve soil health, and promote sustainable production. These treatments use beneficial microbes - often enhanced through gene-editing - to fix atmospheric nitrogen directly for crops, providing an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic fertilizers that contribute to water pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and soil degradation. For example, in August 2025, BioConsortia, Inc., a U.S.-based agricultural microbial technology firm, obtained funding to accelerate the global rollout of its Always-N™ nitrogen-fixing seed treatment for row crops. The Always-N™ coating integrates advanced microbial gene-editing with more than two years of shelf stability, enabling farmers to sustain yields while substantially decreasing the use of synthetic nitrogen.

In September 2024, Lady Moon Farms, a US-based producer of high-quality organic vegetables, formed a partnership with Happy Dirt, a US-based organic grower and shipper. The collaboration aims to enhance business development and sales in underserved segments of the organic market, expanding their presence across different store types and regions. Both companies are committed to sustainable practices and together, they focus on promoting high-quality organic produce.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs on imported organic fertilizers, farming tools, and vegetable seeds have increased production costs for organic vegetable farmers, particularly in regions that rely heavily on imported inputs such as Europe and parts of Asia. Segments most affected include salads, green vegetables, root crops, and protected crops due to their year-round demand and input intensity. Despite the cost burden, tariffs can stimulate domestic production of organic inputs, enhance local supply chain resilience, and encourage regional self-sufficiency in organic vegetable farming.

Organic vegetable farming is a method of crop production that relies on the use of biological materials to avoid the application of synthetic pesticides, genetically modified organisms, antibiotics, and synthetic fertilizers. This approach to farming prioritizes the delivery of high-quality and healthy food for human consumption while simultaneously safeguarding the environment from pollution, soil degradation, and erosion, all in an effort to optimize biological productivity.

The primary categories of organic vegetable farming include pure organic farming and integrated organic farming. Integrated organic farming is characterized by a zero-waste, cyclical process where waste materials from one operation are repurposed as nutrients for other farming activities. Various methods are employed in organic vegetable farming, encompassing composting, crop rotation, pruning, mulching, polyculture, soil management, and weed control. These practices find application in the cultivation of protected crops, salads, green vegetables, root crops, potatoes, and various other vegetable varieties.Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the organic vegetable farming market in 2025.
