UK – This year has proved another good year for Yeo Valley Organic, with the company saying it has outperformed its competition in all of its market segments.

Yogurt is the company’s key business, and for the 11 months of the year to date it has grown by 16%, compared to 3.1% for the market as a whole.

Figures for cream grew by 23% compared to the market average of 3.5%, while its butter sales grew 14.5%.

“The figures for organic food as a whole are excellent and show that although the market is now dramatically bigger than it was a decade ago, there is still no sign of any slowing in consumer interest,” said marketing director Ben Cull.
