We dont have complete figures, but we have as an indicator the sales in fresh food. The research institute AMI did an evaluation of the GfK Household-panel-data concerning fresh-food-sales of the major players in Germany. Taking together the different sales channels we see that that the Edeka group without Netto-Dicounter is ahead follwed by ALDI south and Rewe without the Penny-discounter.

The interesting thing we also recognize ist hat the Edeka discounters Netto did increase their organic sales. They sold less that ALDI south but more than AlDI north and Lidl. We also see the strong position of Kaufland amound the hypermarkets – also in their organic sales.

 As GfK panel-data only reflect a part of the sales the figures are quite good a ranking of organic food-sales in Germany giving a good indication, which retail-group are among the strongest players. The more we are getting to small categories and smaller retail-groups we have to accept that these figures do no longer give a valid picture because the database is to small for this.
