Market Analysis
The increasing health and food safety concerns related to animal food products has resulted in an increased demand for plant-based food products. The demand for plant-based food items among health-conscious consumers is particularly high since foodstuffs and ingredients do not contribute to health issues. A diet based on plants is rich in nutrients, including folate, potassium, vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin E that reduce the risk of cardiovascular and some other metabolic disorders. Vegetarian and vegan diets are becoming increasingly attractive to people in regions like the United States and the United Kingdoms. Different government bodies are now actively promoting plant-based diets. Both factors will improve plant food intake, like organic bananas. The growing popularity of plant food products has therefore, been described as one of the key trends of the organic banana market. This trend will have a significant impact on the organic banana market growth.Nevertheless, the effect of natural disasters on the production of organic bananas, distribution problems, and compliance with strict regulations could hamper the organic banana market growth over the forecast period.
