has announced the addition of the "Organic Foods Report 2006" report
to their offering.

An analysis of markets, trends, competition and strategy in U.S.
organic foods: 1996-2010

Organic Foods Report 2006 is the fourth edition of this
comprehensive analysis of the U.S. organic foods industry.

Based on more than a decade of continuous research on natural,
organic, functional and conventional foods, Organic Foods Report 2006
puts the $13.8-billion U.S. organic market in the context of the
$550-billion U.S. food industry. Penetration rates for organic foods
have gone from 0.8% in 1997 to 2.5% in 2005, and prospects for
reaching 5-10% remain strong. The organic movement has evolved from a
fringe element associated with a lost generation to a core business
strategy of the world's largest corporations.

This research obtains information from each level of the supply
chain, from farm to processor to manufacturer to distributor to
retailer to consumer, providing broad perspective, reliable accuracy
and seasoned analysis on the still dynamic market for organic foods.

This 460-page report covers product categories in comprehensive
detail, sales channels, distribution trends, supply chain issues,
price premiums, historical market growth and forecasts, M&A, consumer
usage, leading companies by category and more indispensable
