Beyond explaining the benefits of Internet fax for small businesses, I’ve started this new series of posts about new industries that are ripe with opportunity.
Today I wanted to recommend the organic food industry. We all want to sell products that are rare enough to demand a high price point. Organic food is a great example of this. Organic food is produced without pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, synthetic fertilizers, bioengineering, and radiation.
It seems hard to believe that all of those things are regularly inserted into our common foods that we buy at the supermarket, but it’s true. Those who know this, and that’s becoming a very large portion of the population, are seeking out organically grown food options.
I suspect that in about 20 years organic food will be the new standard for all food production. I say this because I noticed at Target in their little fast food section that they were offering organic sandwiches and yogurt for kids. I think the writing is on the wall.
With that said, there’s still a very limited supply of organic farms in the world. Meaning that you can demand a much higher price and customers will pay it. The entire industry is growing at a rate of about 10% a year, a much higher than average growth rate. That combined with the demand makes a recipe for success.
