Organic Lamb Market Drivers

The demand from the hospitality sector can benefit both the industry and the consumer, thereby making it a driver of importance

Organic food or lamb in the following cases can be a tad bit expensive if compared to conventional meat items. However, consumers are willing to pay extra, provided that the restaurant is providing all the offerings in an environmentally friendly tone. Surveys have shown that more consumers are willing to pay extra to the hospitality sector who claim to have been using organic products or from a local or domestic supplier. In total, 65% of consumers noted that they would be willing to pay 10% more to dine at a green restaurant. Additionally, organic food is now doing rounds in terms of popularity; hence, restaurants are widely encouraging the use of such products, as they build consumer confidence while also initiating a responsibility towards the overall environment. Lastly, organic food is more appetizing than conventional food as the consumers are aware that the said place would not be dealing with products that are high in GMO, chemicals, and antibiotics, which in turn makes the food appetizing, thereby driving demand.

A tide change in favor of meat consumption has been a key development, thereby enhancing the organic lamb market sentiment

Plant-based meat has been gaining immense market traction since the pandemic started in 2020. However, the recent quarterly report of the giant manufacturers of plant-based meat has raised serious concerns over the future of the said industry. Moreover, the following trend has been a welcoming gift for the organic lamb and meat markets. It is owing to many reasons why the sales pertaining to meat have picked up in foreign markets, such as opening restrictions around the globe have made the consumers jump back to the old grind of eating meat, especially organic, wherever possible. Moreover, the plant-based meats are 30-40% more expensive than the actual meat category, which further has now proved of importance while people have started to spend more on luxurious food items than sustenance.

Organic Lamb Market Challenges

Failed livestock practices, incoherent welfare standards, and high prices as compared to a conventional lamb have been a market growth impeding factor

The livestock practices and welfare standards are self-contradictory when closely analyzed. The USDA mandates that organic livestock should only include access to pasture, access to shade and indoor shelter, an exercise area, and appropriateness based on the stage of life, climate, and environment. Additionally, the health-related factors are contributed by National Organic Program, which governs that feeders would not withhold treatment from an organic animal just for keeping the end-product organic. The following translates into less and fewer amounts of organic livestock available, as the probability of the lambs falling sick is incredibly high. The biggest loophole is likely that most organic livestock regulations are left up to the discretion of each individual producer. For example, although all organic livestock producers must, without a doubt, feed organic meals to livestock and obtain their livestock from organic sources, other rules, such as when animals are allowed outside and how much space they actually get, are mostly set and self-regulated by individual producers.
