Popis:	Organic production and processing, in particular the regional distribution of market actors, is analyzed to determine if regional clustering is emerging. Trends in the spatial concentration of certified organic production are assessed using Gini coefficients and a multiplicative model that compares the number of certified producers and the complexity of a state's organic market. Results suggest that the distribution of organic producers is increasingly non-uniform over time. Further, the interaction of market access and intermediate input factors is strongly correlated to the distribution of organic adopters implying increasing spatial concentration of U.S. organic supply chains. Implications for consumers, particularly those relating organic with local and for firms in organic supply chains are advanced.
