  23. Clear Organic Brand positioning will be vital NOW FUTURE -The key to success in the organic sector is to focus first and foremost on identifying and targeting specific consumer groups that feel strongly enough about your specific Product benefit to pay a little extra for it.-Manufacturers need to address the issue of clear organic brand positioning!-At present, all organic products are positioned very broadly as ‘natural and organic’ with few making explicit references to the specific Product benefits inherent to the brand!For Example: No artificial additives or chemicals, Improved levels of naturally-occurring nutrients, GM Free, Improved animal welfare.free of artificial growth hormones, pesticide residues or genetic modifications
