However, due to higher labour inputs per unit of output and the inability to attain economies of scale owing to the greater variety of businesses, organic food production prices are often higher. People prefer online ordering instead of traditional purchasing, and these products take time to reach the marketplace due to commuting long distances. For this reason, organic farmers need to find local channels for distributing their products which may not always be possible.
