According to one of the farmers we met, this trend towards direct marketing has been a boon for him and his smaller-scale farmer friends. Nevertheless, the prices of vegetables here in farms are unimaginably low.

Our primary crops include tomatoes, ginger, garlic and variety of vegetables. Regions of Europe also produce wheat, sugar beets, soybeans, corn, barley, rice, meat, and dairy products in large fields and ranches. Southern Italy primarily grows fruits, including apples, oranges, and lemons.

Europe & Asia presents a success story in organic fruit and vegetable production, taking advantage of favourable climate and agronomic conditions and close geographic access to major markets. Organic farming growth in most suppling countries is rapid and the domestic organic market is taking off. Relatively high financial support for organic producers has played an important role in the rapid production development.
