세계 유기농가 수는 약 25만호에 달하며 세계시장의 유기제품판매액은 27,800백만불(2006)에 이른다. 유기축산물 주요소비국은 EU 및 미국이며 주요품목은 우유, 양고기, 쇠고기이다. EU와 미국의 유기식품 시장점유율은 2% 미만이며 이중 유기축산물의 비중은 17%(미국)이다. 유기축산물의 주된 유통통로는 수퍼마?R(유럽), 건강식품전문매장(미국)이며 Tesco, Walmart 등과 같은 대형체인점의 판매비중도 증가하는 추세이다. 국가간 유기축산물교역량은 극히 적으며 주로 개발국 특히 유럽국가 간에 활성화하고 있다. 앞으로의 유기식품시장은 남미, 중동, 오세아니아를 중심으로 급성장할 것이다. 그러나 성장속도는 높은 가격, 유통인프라 미비, 유사유기축산물의 시장진입, 국가간의 인증 기준차이 등에 의해 제한될 것이다. 유기축산 선발국들은 유기농업을 농촌사회의 발전, 농업 생산방식의 다양화, 환경개선 등을 위한 정책적 수단으로 활용하고 있다.

One of the first important strategic decisions when a starting an organic marketing initiative (OMI) is to plan the right strategy for distributing products. This decision depends to a large extent on whether the OMI has chosen a quality-premium product strategy or a price-quantity strategy. All distribution decisions interact strongly with other aspects of the marketing mix. Where and how a product is distributed objectives, its chosen strategy and the availability of human and capital resources. To select a market channel, frequent contact and discussions with possible partner are important. Generally, a distribution is made between the direct and indirect physical distribution of organic products to consumers. The longer the supply chain, the lower the chances that an OMI can steer the market through its own marketing measures and convince consumers through its own promotion activities. Generally speaking, the shorter the chain between OMI products and the final consumer, the less dependent the OMI will be on the success of other market actors. Direct selling activities to the retail or food industries also requires an OMI to undertake additional processing and marketing activities. For example, retailers often expect products to have been packed and labelled ready for sale. To conclude, distribution channels should be chosen in accordance with the product and price policy as well as the management capacity of the OMI.

Consumers have become increasingly more aware of food safety issues, as a consequence of s number of food scandals. Most of these scandals have been related to livestock products. However, most consumers still believe that it is possible to produce safe food at low prices, while a small group of consumers is willing to pay a price surplus for special quality. Organic standards, especially for livestock products, have very few definitions of process quality, and even fewer of these definitions that influence product quality.
