LOS ANGELES , October 4, 2011 (Industry Intelligence) – Riding the boom in the U.S. organic food and beverage industry, Hain Celestial posted a record US$1.13 billion in revenue for its fiscal year 2011, Investor’s Business Daily reported Oct. 3.

Hain – which makes and sells a variety of organic foods, drinks and personal care and household products – saw the increase following a 2010 performance that saw its year-over-year sales fall 18%. Its top customer is natural foods grocer Whole Foods, which accounts for approximately 10% of Hain’s sales.

Hain’s recent growth can be largely attributed to the rising demand for products that don’t contain chemicals, preservatives or other additives.. U.S. industry sales for organic food and beverage topped $26 billion in 2010, up 7.7% from 2009 and well above the $1 billion mark seen two decades earlier..
