The trade in organic food at the moment is small but demand is rising rapidly. It is growing fastest in Europe where the area given over to organic cultivation quadrupled between 1987 and 1993. The current world market for organic food is $11 billion and it may reach <IMG width="105" height="98" align="left" src="http://www.newint.org/issue323/../ni_pix/transparent.gif" />$100 billion within a decade. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.newint.org/issue323/apple.htm"><B><FONT size="2">P is for Potato</FONT></B> British people eat between 40 and 55 kgs of potatoes per person per year.
