Organic
Insights, Inc. has created the first database for organic imports in the USA. Our first project, in collaboration with Ohio
State University (Associate Prof. Neal Hooker, Ph.D.) in the context of a National Science Initiative grant concerned imported
organic soy and bananas. First numbers for organic soy indicate that in 2007 more than 70,000 metric tons of organic
soy products have been imported, amounting to roughly 45% of all organic soy consumed in the USA (numbers include soy
for animal feed). The leading country of origin for imported organic soy is China with more than 95% of the imports.
We are also launching our Organic Products Risk Assessment service. Dr. Fuchshofen has just written an article in
Organic Processing Magazine on risk assessment for organic products, which you can download from our Organic Risk Prevention
page (or you can go to
www.organicprocessing.com and look up the article "Non-Risky Business. Ensuring Ingredient Safety and Security").
We will roll
out additional products and information regarding these projects soon, so come back often. If you have questions,
please contact us at
