Dear Reader,
Breaking *News* just released by Organic Alliance, Inc. (Pink Sheets: ORGC)
Last week ORGC announced that it
would implement a global tracking system (GS1) making it possible
to trace a single piece of produce back to the farm of origin or even to
the exact row on which it was grown. Yesterday ORGC announced that it had agreed to implement the GS1 System for a major avocado
grower in Mexico - Avocadoman S.A. to track its produce in order to improve
traceability and consumer safety. The GS1 System plays a vital
role in product recalls, as it enables quick traceability on a global scale
across the supply chain.

Organic Alliance, Inc.
Monday August
11, 8:15 am ET
Organic Alliance, Inc. Has Entered
Into a Preliminary Agreement With Avocadoman S.A. to Install GS1 System
in Their Avocado Groves in Mexico
SAN ANTONIO, Texas,
Aug. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Organic Alliance, Inc. (Pink Sheets:
ORGC - News),
with plans to be a world leader in sales and marketing of USDA certified
organic products, announced today that it has agreed to implement the GS1
System to track its produce in order to improve traceability and consumer
safety.
GS1 is a global organization
with an integrated system of standards that provides accurate identification
of products and locations through the use of standards, barcodes and Electronic
Product Code/Radio Frequency Identification (EPC/RFID) tags. The GS1 System
can play a vital role in product recalls, because it enables product traceability.
GS1 standards make traceability systems possible on a global scale across
the supply chain.
The U.S. organic industry
grew 21% to reach $17.7 billion in consumer sales in 2006 yet consumers
are increasingly more concerned about the origin and safety of produce
due to food recalls and produce warnings. "Utilizing the GS1 System, we
have the ability to not only track our produce back to the farm of origin,
but all the way down to the actual row on which it was grown. The rapid
growth of the organic industry makes an effective tracking system on the
produce a necessity and we are pleased to take this leadership role through
our initial agreement with GS1," said Tom Morrison, chief executive officer
of Organic Alliance, Inc. "Consumers should be confident that their food
is not contaminated. They should not have to fear eating foods because
of national recalls, and at Organic Alliance, we want to offer our consumers
timely information when recalls happen. This is also beneficial for farmers
and the FDA because the GS1 product labels and technology expedite tracking,
quickly isolating the problem to a specific farm and clearing other safe
products."
About GS1:
GS1 is a leading global
organization dedicated to the design and implementation of global standards
and solutions to improve the efficiency and visibility of the supply and
demand chains globally and across sectors. The GS1 System of standards
is the most widely used supply chain standards system in the world. For

The Organic Marketplace |
 |
Agricultural Plots and Hectares
from the Air
A
hectare is a unit of area equal to 10,000 square metres.
An
acre is approximately 40% of a hectare.
Organic farmland is distributed across the globe, but the markets are
strongest in North America and Europe, which as of 2001 are estimated to
have $6 and $8 billion respectively of the $20 billion market. Austral-asia
has 39% of the total organic farmland with Australia's 11.8 million hectares,
but 97 percent of this land is sprawling range land, which results in total
sales of approximately 5% of US sales. Europe has 23 percent of total organic
farmland (6.9 million hectares), followed by Latin America with 19 percent
(5.8 million hectares). Asia has 9.5 percent while North America has 7.2
percent. Africa has a mere 3 percent.
Besides Australia, the countries with the most organic area include
Argentina (3.1 million hectares), China (2.3 million hectares), and the
United States (1.6 million hectares). Much of Argentina's organic farmland
is pasture, like Australia. Italy, Spain, Germany, Brazil, Uruguay, and
the UK follow the United States by the amount of land managed organically.
As of 2001, the estimated total market value of certified organic products
was estimated to be $20 billion. By 2002 this was $23 billion and by 2005
$33 billion, with Organic Monitor projecting sales of $40 billion in 2006.
The change from 2001 to 2005 represents a compound growth of 10.6 percent.
In recent years, both Europe and North America have experienced strong
growth in organic farmland. Each added half a million hectares from 2004
to 2007, for the U.S. this is a 29 percent change.

Some examples of large company organic brand commitments
are:
Coke- Odwalla, M&M Mars-Seeds
of Change, Pepsi-Tostito Organic, Tyson-Natures Farm, Con Agra-Hunt’s Organic,
Lightlife, Orville Redenbacher’s Organic, Dole-Dole Organic, Cargill-French
Meadow, Cadbury Schweppes Nantucket Nectars Organic, Green & Blacks,
General Mills-Cascadian Farms, Muir Glen, Gold Medal Organic, Sunrise Organic,
Danone-Stonyfield Farm, Unilever-Ragu Organic, Ben & Jerry’s Organic,

to elite New York analyst and investor group; announces second meeting
in Philadelphia
SAN
ANTONIO, July 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Organic Alliance, Inc., a worldwide
organic ingredient trading company, (Pink Sheets: ORGC - News) led by Tom Morrison, CEO presented to analysts and investors at the storied

Dana
Bruno, Managing Director, DTB Capital Management Group asked a question
about organic sales rates versus conventional products. Morrison cited
the most recent study appearing in the weekly trade journal Supermarket

continued growth despite a tight dollar and a decrease in consumer spending.
Morrison went on to say that organic products now make up over 3% of all
food commodity volume in the US marketplace.

major new organic brands appearing at all major consumer goods firms, and
that he expected the category to continue to show strong growth. Morrison
said, "I expect to see some excellent marketing programs from world class

Organic Alliance
Announces Plan to Open in August an Executive Sales & Marketing
Office in
Bakersfield, California
Company targeting
large food processors as customers for over 50% of its gross revenues through
multi-carload, multi-year contracts with organic crop growers
PRINCETON,
N.J., June 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Today, Organic Alliance, Inc. (Pink
Sheets: ORGC - News; formerly NBDL) released details on its plans to become one of the world's leading providers
of USDA certified organic crops to many of the country's leading consumer
packaged goods manufacturers, food processors, grocery, and retail restaurant
chains. The company is also announcing that its sales & marketing headquarters
will open in Bakersfield, CA in August 2008. Bakersfield is centrally located
for organic trading, according to company CEO Tom Morrison.
Consumers
have embraced organic foods as a lifestyle change while the major food
companies and retailers play catch-up to some of the niche organizations
(Whole Foods, etc.) that have focused heavily on organic. There exists
no question as to the strong consumer demand for organic foods with 2007
sales of approximately $19 billion. Organic Alliance, Inc. ("OAI"), led
by organic farming and industry veteran Tom Morrison, intends to fill a
significant and problematic void facing major food companies such as Kraft,
Unilever, and Sara Lee and mainstream grocery outlets including Costco,
Safeway, and China's Lotus: reliable sourcing of organic fruits and vegetables
from growers. These organizations are struggling to source high-quality,
source-certified, organic produce to be sold as end product to consumers
or to be used as ingredients for a more complete organic food alternative. MORE
