Barbara Robinson, the head of the Agriculture Department's National Organic Program in US, stating that the country is now importing much more organic food than it exports, told the press, "This is how you stimulate growth, is imports, Your own industry says, we're tired of importing this; why should I pay more for imports when I could start producing myself?".

Due to the continued success of organic foods with the people many large mainstream grocery stores are attempting to meet the demand by themselves. Super stores like Kroger Co, Safeway Inc, and SuperValu Inc, which own Albertsons LLC, are some of the supermarkets that are already selling their own organic brands. Wal-Mart Inc had earlier this year announced it would be doubling the amount of organic foods that are offered in their stores.
