The Organic Agriculture Act took effect towards the end of the review period, increasing consumer confidence in organic packaged food. The law was designed to protect the environment, help with the development of organic and eco-friendly farming practices, and protect domestic organic farmers.
Taiwan has a strict zero pesticide policy in order to stop imported organic food products which do not meet the high domestic standards from entering the country. Taiwan has one the largest markets for organic imported packaged food in the region.
Specialist organic stores are the main retail channels for consumers wishing to purchase organic packaged food products. Previously, these consisted largely of small independent stores, although the number of chained organic stores has been increasing.
Organic packaged food is set to record ongoing moderate, if declining, constant 2020 retail value growth over the forecast period. Growth may well be limited by a gradual reduction in imports due to the new regulations around pesticides, while it takes time for local production to gear up.
It used to be common to see imported international organic packaged food products in Taiwan. Most consumers considered imported organic package food products as offering higher quality (and prices) than Taiwanese products, which many considered as using high quantities of pesticides in the production process.
Although witnessing good growth in its share of organic packaged food in 2020, the channel continued to enjoy relatively low sales. Organic rice, pasta and noodles is by far the largest product set within organic packaged food and many consumers have their favourite physical outlets to purchase these products, where they can also view new products first hand.
