Non-organic can be more expensive than organic if the distances, inputs, and procedures are costly and time-consuming. It generally is assumed that non-organic will be less expensive because of a longer operating history and wider trading networks, but that will not be the case if there is a bottleneck in distribution or a stubborn problem in cultivation, harvesting or marketing.
