France, the major agricultural producer in Europe, has an organic food market valued at more than $5 billion in 2012, with organic fruits and vegetables at 16% and wine at 10% of the organic market. The market is expected to rise to $5.127 billion in 2014 and $7.8 billion in 2016. As with its non-organic imports, imported organic commodities are primarily products not grown in France, such as teas, spices, coffee, cocoa and tropical fruits.
