Answer:

Organic Crop yields are less profitable (this answer assumes you are American).

Step-by-step explanation:

Organic Crop yields tend to fetch higher prices in Western markets, however, they are significantly more expensive to make, and yield quantity is less. For this reason, large corporate farms tend to prefer "conventional" unless they are specifically fulfilling a niche such as Whole Foods. In Germany, the opposite is true due to pesticide legislation and subsidy programs.
