As a hardcore democratic socialist I take capitalist economics with a grain of salt and sometimes the whole shaker and yes you are right, but the fact of the matter is that raising a ton of organic tomatoes requires much much more work than raising a ton of inorganic tomatoes. Remember the supply is less because the bugs ate half your tomatoes so you had to plant twice as much. Planting extra, as well as using tedious methods of organic pest control so the bugs only eat half (I am guilty of manual genocide against slugs and can speak on this with authority), puts a very nonmagical extra cost on organic produce.
