Why is organic so expensive?
I want to use more organic bath products for my daughter & it's at least 3-5 times the price of her non-organic products! For example, her Johnson's Baby Shampoo is around $3.00 for a 15oz bottle. The cheapest organic shampoo I've been able to find is $11.99 for 8oz. I wanted to get her more natural toys for the holidays, & organic cotton stuffed animals were much more expensive, as were natural wood building blocks without paint. I understand that organic costs a little more, but I'm beginning to think these companies are price gouging. Is there an explanation for this?
I've got to correct something Hipp5 said: Organic farms usually produce MORE profit per acre than mechanized non-organic farms (Google it). The reason an organic farmer makes less money than a non-organic farmer is that the latter has huge acreage, so he earns more just on volume.
This partly explains why organic is more expensive: sure, each acre is worth more, but the farmer cannot have as many acres (because he isn't using the heavy mechanization and chemical inputs required to keep a large farm going). So overall, organic farms have usually been small-scale operations, and this has a tendency to raise the price on the consumer end.
Also, the lack of chemical input and/or genetic manipulation means that crops don't grow as fast or as large as non-organics, and they also have a shorter shelf life. All of these factors will increase the price.
The single biggest reason organics seem more expensive, however, is that non-organics are UNDERVALUED. The environmental degradation that occurs as a result of non-organic farming has a real price tag, but this is often hard to calculate, and almost always not factored into the costs of production. (For more on this, do a web search for environmental economics.)
There is one caveat to all this: I am taking for granted that we all agree on a common definition for "organic". Most people accept that organic crops are not sprayed with synthetic pesticides, but there is less agreement on whether artificial (or even natural) fertilizers are acceptable. Also, transportation is usually conveniently ignored from the definition of organic, so you can end up with "organic" produce from California being shipped to Canada. In my mind, that doesn't keep with the spirit of organic, but most certifying agencies allow it. So long story short, organics are not all created equal, and this will be evident in the price!
