In a general observation, organic products are considered to be less expansive as compared to conventional food. However, the fact is opposite to what most of the people are thinking. Without the use of expensive pesticides and chemicals, this production still cost more than its conventional counterpart.

Recollecting all of the factors influencing the cost of organic products is not possible. That’s why we have collected factors from the results of a few survey reports of UAE based farms. 

Following are the factors to notice that why these products including organic vegetables Dubai are this much costly yet essential for a healthy life.

Conventional products are developed faster using chemicals. Such a faster development highly reduces the price of these products. As there is no use of chemicals or pesticides in biological production, more labour force is required for hand-weeding and remediation.

Once a product is produced in a larger amount as compare to supply, the costs stay down. But in case of organic production, the farmland just accounts 0.9% of around the globe farmland. Production in this much fertile land is limited, whose cost must be higher.

The key target of conventional farmers is to produce larger quantities of the crop every time. They use chemicals to keep the soil healthy and prevent weeds. On the other hand, organic farmers perform crop rotation to maintain healthy soil and prevent the development of weeds.

Cross-contamination needs to be avoided after harvesting the crop. Such type of maintenance is the key reason of smaller supply of organic vegetables Dubai in both local and international markets. Beside this, organic farms usually stay far away of the markets that also increase the shifting cost of production.
