Trgovina proizvodima organskog porekla beleži stalni rast. Međunarodne institucije, države i preduzeća mogu značajno uticati na trgovinske tokove organskim proizvodima što predstavlja poseban izazov. Zahtevi potrošača za kvalitetnom i zdravstveno bezbednom hranom biljnog i životinjskog porekla koja je proizvedena u nenarušenoj prirodnoj sredini sve su više izraženi. Poljoprivredna preduzeća se danas susreću sa velikim brojem problema prilikom organizovanja organske proizvodnje. Predmet izučavanja ovog rada je analiza i poređenje organske proizvodnje u svetu. Prikazan je razvoj svetskog tržišta organski proizvedene hrane, a objašnjen je i kako funkcioniše organski maloprodajni sektor u najrazvijenijim zemljama sveta. Dobit kao motiv koju proizvođači mogu da ostvare prodajom organskih proizvoda je uzdrman zbog postojeće svetske ekonomske krize, koja dodatno povećava finansijski rizik prilikom ulaganja novčanih srestava u organsku proizvodnju.
