Can anyone explain why Organic vegetable are more expensive the chemically grown ones?

I'm of the opinion that the entire 'organic is better' stuff is just an excuse that somebody came up with to charge more for pretty much the same product minus the expense of the chemicals that would see it look better.

Only instead of the chemicals you pay extras for those tending the crop

Probably it's harder to grow it without the plant dying

Because they hire people to keep watch on every single vegetable to check for bugs.🐛 lol

Production scale, I bet.

All those chemicals produce a better and faster and more consistent yield.
Meanwhile, the organic version takes more labor, takes longer to grow and yield less per acre. Also non organic have longer shelf lives which means less waste.

I think it has something to do with the higher rate of product losses since it’s not protected by the pesticides, gmo modifications, etc.

Of course, the other part is just plain greed.

Because people are willing to pay for "organic" -- even though there is no actual legal definition of the term or what can be sold as "organic".

Organic is anething they want it to be like movies 'based on a true story' can mean it was the same names

Because the people who want to buy "organic" produce are stupid enough to pay for it.😷

Spit and anything 'more' healtjy costs more
