The EU's register of organic operators names the companies that hold a certificate to import organic products. A certificate is a licence to import, not a record of a purchase, so these companies are counted apart from the importers customs records name.
6,438 companies hold a certificate to import organic products in 31 countries. Their certificates state a category of products (processed food, unprocessed plants, feed, wine…), not this product: they are real importers of organic food and farm products you can write to, and nothing says they buy this product.

Ranked by each country's imports from the world (US dollars, CIF value) in the latest year it has reported. 144 countries have figures for this subheading; 7 of them report imports from Türkiye.
The price a kilogram is the import value divided by the net weight (the year's average, CIF). No price is shown where there is no weight.
A weight marked “estimated” is UN Comtrade's estimate, where the country reported none; the price a kilogram worked out from it is an estimate too.

We read the database's daily export of every pack. Of each pack we take its brand, the countries it is sold in, its most specific categories and ingredients, and the day its record was last edited. We count each brand's packs by country and by category or ingredient. A category or an ingredient is matched to a customs tariff code by its name: the code the database itself states, else the tariff's own titles; what matches no one code is left out. A brand whose newest pack was last edited more than five years ago is left out, and for each country and code the 300 brands with the most packs are listed. Nothing else is changed or added.
