Moreover, the major organic food-producing states in the country include Chiapas, Oaxaca, Michoacan, Chihuahua, and Guerrero, which account for 80.0% of the total organic area in the country. Organizations such as the National Association for Organic Agriculture are promoting organic agriculture in the country, which is expected to motivate more farmers to take up organic agriculture.
• Canada's area under organic crop cultivation increased from 400,000 hectares in 2017 to 450,000 hectares in 2021. Row crops occupied the maximum area, with 420,000 hectares in 2021. The Canadian government announced a sum of USD 297,330 in 2021 as an Organic Development Fund to support organic farmers. These initiatives are expected to increase the organic area in the region.

Growing demand for organic produce in domestic and international markets, rise in per capita spending on organic food

• The average per capita spending on organic food products in North America was recorded as USD 108.0 in 2021. Among the North American countries, the United States had the highest per capita spending, with an average spending of USD 158.0 in 2021.
• The pandemic has been a major factor in the increase of organic food consumption. In 2020, sales of organic products in the United States grew by 14.2%, which represented an increase of USD 1.0 billion, reaching a value of USD 8.50 billion, according to a report by Organic Produce Network and Category Partners.
