Organic cheese means it has been produced through organic farming methods. The source dairy animals - have not been exposed to growth hormones and other chemicals that cause breast cancer and other ailments in humans. Other than, the animals used have not been treated with antibiotics. Organic cheese is often considered to be a healthier and more environmentally friendly option compared to conventionally produced cheese. Furthermore, conventionally produced cheeses are known to contain extra components from production and preservation. All these end up affecting the taste and quality, which is why organic cheese tastes better.
The urge for organic cheese is driven by the commitment of organic farming to the humane treatment of farm animals. Unlike conventional practices, organic dairy farmers prioritize the well-being of cows by avoiding the use of hormones or antibiotics to artificially boost milk production. Instead, they focus on maintaining the cows good health through organic diets and providing them with access to fresh air, natural light, and open pasture. In case of illness, organic farmers use homeopathic medicines, whereas non-organic farms often administer antibiotics preventively, even when the cows are healthy. This excess use of antibiotics not only reduces their effectiveness in combating diseases but also poses a potential risk to human health. Consumers value the significance of animal welfare and responsible antibiotic usage in organic farming, which contributes to the increasing demand for organic cheese.
However, the production of organic cheese faces certain challenges. Organic cheese requires organic milk, which is sourced from organically raised cows. However, the availability of organic milk is limited due to the smaller number of organic dairy farms compared to conventional ones. As a result, organic cheese is often priced higher than conventional cheese, making it less accessible to price-sensitive consumers. Organic farmers also face higher production costs due to lower milk yields and the need to purchase supplementary feed. Additionally, the lack of energy feeds in organic farming and the difficulties in growing energy feed crops like corn under organic conditions further contribute to the higher prices of organic cheese. Organic farmers also receive lower milk prices compared to non-organic farmers, which poses a challenge for the organic cheese market. Furthermore, the competition from readily available and lower-priced conventional cheese adds to the market constraints for organic cheese.
Despite these challenges, the worldwide demand for organic cheese is steadily increasing due to factors such as population growth, higher consumption per person, the growth of gym culture, on-the-go eating solutions, increased food consumption outside the home, and the rise of online and mobile shopping. Organic cheese aligns with these trends as a convenient and protein-rich option. As incomes rise and urbanization increases, individuals tend to shift their calorie intake towards proteins, including cheese, rather than relying heavily on basic carbohydrates. These factors contribute to the larger consumer base for organic cheese products.
While competition authorities typically address concerns related to competition in the food industry, the organic cheese market presents additional complexities that require attention. The competition between organic and conventional cheese is influenced by factors such as price sensitivity and consumer preferences for affordability over organic certification. These factors collectively impact the growth of the organic cheese market.
