Across all types of organic food consumers and non-consumers in France in 2024, the first reason preventing them from consuming more of this type of food was the price, deemed too expensive. French consumers also doubted the ability of a product to be completely organic from start to finish.
It is worth noting that 47 percent of the respondents who do not consume any organic products declare having no interest in doing so.
