The campaign follows a rise in organic food sales, as reported by retail chain Coop Danmark. The retailer reported a 2.0% year-on-year rise in sales of organic foods for the first four months of 2003. Sales of organic foods currently account for 30% of food retail sales in Denmark, which is believed to be the highest consumer of organic products on a per capita basis, reported the Danish News Digest.
