In the US, it appears that
exceptions based on "non-availability" could be granted when
the organic seed is quite a bit more expensive than the
conventional seed. What is the position of the ESA and IFS on
this issue?
Cost of
organic seed is not and should not be an issue when it comes to
organic produce.
When the final
product becomes too expensive because of higher seed cost
(which I believe is a false belief), then the product should
not be produced organically at all. Again see what is said
on page 1.
Either you are consistent and,
therefore, believable, or you do not produce.
