The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of building strong immunity, which has led consumers to prioritize foods rich in antioxidants and nutrients. Organic food, known for its health benefits, has become a popular choice for enhancing immunity, prompting consumers to pay a premium for these products. For instance, in May 2023, the Organic Trade Association (OTA), a US-based trade organization, reported that sales of organic food in the US reached $60 billion for the first time in 2022.

The organic fruit and nut farming market is poised to benefit from the rising need to reduce the use of chemicals and pesticides. Chemicals and pesticides are commonly employed to control pests, insects, weeds, and pathogens that can harm crops and the environment. Fruit farming often utilizes these substances to enhance productivity, reduce food waste, and ensure an adequate food supply. However, the use of pesticides, antibiotics, and hormones in fruit farming is subject to strict regulations to safeguard consumer safety. In 2023, nearly 75% of non-organic fresh produce sold in the U.S. were found to contain residues of potentially harmful pesticides, according to the Environmental Working Group (EWG). Blueberries and green beans have been added to the Dirty Dozen list of fruits and vegetables with the highest pesticide residues. Pesticide exposure can have various adverse effects on human health, particularly in children. Hence, the increasing need to minimize chemical and pesticide usage is expected to drive the growth of the organic fruit and nut farming market.
