The first reason is that organic food has high requirements for the environment, and the land for organic food cultivation requires a three-year conversion period, during which pesticides, chemical fertilizers and other prohibited substances cannot be used. It seems very difficult to find products produced without pollution, because it is impossible to produce organic food in a large area. Organic food should be produced according to the national standards for origin certification, air certification and environmental certification. When it reaches a certain standard, it should be produced according to the standard, and these standards are relatively strict.

The second reason is that the production cost of organic food is high. In order to ensure the nutrients of crops, organic fertilizer must be applied. Organic fertilizer can only be applied after harmless treatment, so the price of organic fertilizer is high, so the price of organic food is high. (2) synthetic pesticides should not be used. Pest control is a three-dimensional comprehensive control system, which is usually artificial pest control, physical pest control or pest control, and its investment is more than the conventional production mode. However, organic livestock can not use antibiotics, growth hormone and so on. (3) in the process of organic food planting, no pesticides and fertilizers have been used, so the loss rate is high and the yield rate is low. The output of organic products is about 25% - 40% lower than that of conventional products. (4) chemical herbicides should not be used. If chemical herbicides are used, 1 person / day can weed 15 mu of land, while manual weeding, 1 person / day can only weed 0.3 mu, its effect is 1 / 50 of the conventional. (5) conventional production depends on chemical fertilizer and growth hormone, which can speed up the growth process of crops and shorten the growth period. The organic growth is natural, and its growth period is long, which naturally increases the cost. (6) there should be a conversion process from conventional production to organic production, which takes at least 24-36 months. (7) organic animal husbandry products should be stocked in the process of livestock raising. (8) raw material production and processing production should be subject to organic certification, and certification fees should be paid. (9) at present, the organic industry has not formed a large-scale effect, and resources are very scarce.

The third reason: the requirements of organic food in processing, storage and transportation are much higher than ordinary food, so the cost is also much higher. Therefore, the scale of organic production is small, the human investment is large, the risk cost and transportation cost are relatively high, so the price of organic products is naturally high. However, conventional products do not include environmental costs such as pollution and soil fertility decline. If environmental costs are reflected in prices, the prices of conventional products and organic products are equivalent.

matters needing attention

Organic dairy products are made of organic raw milk, including organic yogurt, cream, milk powder, milk sugar, milk and so on. The difference between organic milk and ordinary milk is that it is strictly forbidden to use synthetic chemicals such as chemical fertilizers, pesticides, hormones and production regulators in the production and processing process. The packaging, storage and transportation industries should strictly comply with the relevant standards of organic products. For the majority of consumers, organic milk is the "safest" dairy product.
