This is a question that pops up quite alot on forums of this nature.

Personally, I think its a bit of both. Organic food does take more to produce as the yields tend to be lower than normal crops. This means there will be a certain mark up. This being said I do feel the likes of Tesco/Sainsbury's et al see this market growing and decide they want a slice.

I fear we may see a decline in the market in general as the purse strings tighten
