Ismea: the Italian organic market note – October 2011

<div style="text-align: justify;">In September 2011, prices at
the source of Italian organic products were substantially stable in relation to August, while they
showed a decrease in relation to the same month of 2010. <br>Average prices at consumers' level for
the main organic products showed a slight increase, always in relation to the same period of 2010.
This trend does not show a balanced distribution of the value along the whole production chain, like
in the previous months. Furthermore, with reference to the prices at the source, the organic
products&nbsp; vis-à-vis of the conventional ones did record a prices trend showing a lower rate of
inflation in all the monitored sections, except for the cereals. <br></div><br><a href="../share/img_lib_files/1625_news_biologico_2011_10.pdf">The market note</a> (in
