The following corrigenda need to made for the printed version (IFOAM/FiBL) of 'The World of Organic Agriculture 2008'.
- Page 20, Figure 4 (also relevant for the Earthscan edition)
The title of the figure should read: Development of certifed and in-conversion land world-wide. 1998-2006. I tshould be noted that all data on organic area refer to fully organic as well as in-conversion land. For many countries details on the conversion status are available and we will try to include these details into the 2009 edition; FiBL can be be contacted for more information. >>E-Mail
- Page 16, first paragraph, last sentence
The largest growth was in Oceania ( 0.6 million hectares), followed by Europe (0.5 million hectares) and Asia (0.4 million hectares).
- Page 19, 3rd paragraph in the European section
The biggest market for organic products in 2006 was Germany with a turnover of 4.6 billion Euros, followed by the UK (2.83 billion Euros), Italy (1.9 billion Euros) and France (1.7 billion Euros).
- Page 98
Additionally to the figure mentioned in the table Kenya has 100'000 hectares of wild collection for which no details are available.
- Page 133, section on UK
The figure in brackets the second paragraph should read 2.83 billion Euros
- Clarification page 132, Italy
The domestic market in Italy is 1.9 billion Euros (1.7 billion retailing, 0.2 billion catering). The export volume amounts to 0.75 billion Euros.
- Page 136
Section on Switzerland: 1.202 billion Swiss Francs; section on Finland 57 million Euros.
- Page 171, Table 28: Organic sugarcane production
Due to a database error the figures from several years are in this table and thus wrong. The corrected page 171 is available here.
- Page 186: Organic agricultural land and farms in Latin America 2006
In this table the figures for some countries as well as for the whole of Latin America had been wrong. (These figures are correct though in other parts of the book). A corrected version of page 186 is available here.
