The nation’s growth in organic products has been expanding at five to ten percent per annum in
recent years, accounting for roughly 3% of agriculture production. Luxembourg reportedly has
one of the highest per capita consumption rates for organic products in the world, although
more than 80% of the organic products are imported.
Although there is a National Action Plan and policy support by the Ministry of Agriculture in
promoting organic food research, consumer awareness, educational programs, training, and
marketing support, the nation’s farmers are not responding or converting to organic.
