Sales of organic products are also increased 9.4 percent at canteens, restaurants and public institutions from 2012 to 2013. Other fast-growing categories include eggs (up 24 percent due to interest in animal welfare), cultured products, rice and flour. Single households and households with one child purchase a higher percentage of organic products than other households. Discount stores, with 36.5 of the market share, are the leading sales channel.
