China Quietly Muscles In on the Organic Food Market

Submitted by Matt, Jul 25, 2007 06:27

I am a full-time Canadian Organic farmer supplying well over 2000 tons of grains and oilseeds to the Certified Organic market yearly. It burns me to see articles like this that undermine true Organic production.

I hope in the near future, the CFIA and the USDA will take a more serious look at the so called "Organic" products from China.

For the health and welfare of all of us. Take care.

Matt
