Walmart is going organic, so does this mean that ASDA will follow suit?

Wal-Mart may be big, but they aren't dumb. They'll follow with ASDA in order to compete with the small inroads Tesco is making into organic sales.

I certainly hope they take this work from the US to the UK..... Asda is currently quite a way down the list for organic produce (although I have noticed that this varies significantly from one store to another... some are great, others aren't. It's v much dependant upon the local area)

I was talking to a local potato broker here in Scotland yesterday. This year, they are overrun with requests from Tesco and ASDA at the last minute. Given that most of the crop is pre-sold and they aren't likely to get much at such short notice, they are now looking to buy up farmland which is considered 'organic'. The trend is here.

my Walmart's had this for a long time, but it's too expensive for my tastes... still, a movement in the right direction and it offers an alternative!

if organice got a bit cheaper more people would be able to buy it and supermarkets would sell mor etc etc

This is a market with lots of potential for Wal-Mart and other stores that target middle and lower class consumers.
