Ranked by each country's imports from the world (US dollars, CIF value) in the latest year it has reported. 135 countries have figures for this subheading; 25 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.

A country marked with an HS edition reports its figures under that edition's code; a code's scope can differ between editions.

Companies certified to import organic products

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.

Source: European Commission, Directory of organic operators' certificates (TRACES) (opens in a new tab). Read on 11 November 2026. Certificates that held on that day, issued from December 2023 to November 2026.

Certified importers, by country

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.

The register is read every week. A certificate that expired or was withdrawn is no longer counted.
