    When people look at an organic product, the first thing they are most likely to notice is its cost. Which, under normal circumstances, is remarkably higher than average products. Since people have the misconception that the word "organic" on food labels means "all natural," they accepted this phenomenon as a necessary price to pay for a healthy life, but it merely indicates that the product is minimally processed and is preservative free. The true reason behind the intimidating price of organic product is because organic production prohibits the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides as well as genetic manipulation of plants. These standards require greater labor input from organic farmers to provide a purer product, and at the same time help to protect our environment.…

    Price of substitutes plays a role in determining a company’s profitability. Organic food is priced at a premium to conventional food reflecting the high labor costs in cultivating the product. The price premium may be one reason why organic food has not become mainstream. Another reason is that consumers either lack education about its benefits (or don’t care) so that the price premium does not appear to be justified. However, when comparing upscale organic and prepared foods to competitors such as restaurants, the benefit/cost ratio appears more justified. Market research conducted shows that “20 percent of shoppers as dedicated to healthy eating”.(PRNEWSWIRE, 2013) These shoppers tend to be better educated, more affluent, couples or singles without children, and…

    Whole Foods Markets

    Claiming itself as the “leading retailer of organic foods” Whole Foods Market has staked its claim as the preeminent purveyor of “certified organic” foods with nine major distribution centers and 270 retail locations in North America and the United Kingdom (Whole Foods 1, n.d., para. 9). The aggressive growth strategy that led this small joint venture start-up company to go from 19 employees in 1980 to over 54,000 employees today could be facing greater complexity and challenges as the resource limits of the natural foods market become increasingly strained (Whole Foods 2, n.d., para. 3). To continue such impressive growth, Whole Foods’ strategy must also mitigate the onslaught of new entrants who are directly competing to erode its market share. This competitive environment coupled with product resource limitations and smaller retail outlet expansion opportunities may soon reach critical mass.…
