84% of Spaniards buy organics

A survey conducted by Spanish organics specialist Haciendasbio has found that 84% of Spanish consumers purchase organic products, and a third of them do so regularly. The main reasons cited for these acquisitions relate to health (46%), the environment (39%) and taste (15%). Of the 1,000 people surveyed, 51% buy organics “occasionally”, while 16% never include them in their shopping basket. Moreover, it found that 46 per cent of shoppers choose organic products to take care of their health, 39 per cent because they are sustainable and 15 per cent for their flavour.
