The organic foods movement in the West did not make great progress until the 1990s. According to USDA estimates, the certified organic cropland doubled from 1992 to 1997 to reach 1.3 million acres (out of just over 430 million acres total cropland). Even today, organic farmland remains a small portion of American agriculture, currently well under 1% of the total farm acreage. The rapid growth of this agricultural industry led to some problems with labeling of products as organic, so new standards have been imposed, and people interested in organic products have increased their demands for purity and certification of purity as well. The situation has developed favorably to the point where organic foods are now sold in larger quantities in standard grocery outlets than in specialty "health food" or "whole food" stores. Major areas for organic foods are beverages and snack items more so than bulk fresh produce. Selling processed and packaged foods provides a more stable base for the producers, distributors, and retailers.
