This website covers USA; not world-wide.

I'm not sure that I would prefer to pay the extra for organic to know that I got something that generally doesn't taste as fresh, succulent nor is any safer than the cheaper and more reliably less bug-eaten fruit.
It is case by case scenario. You're talking about fruit; the above website is not centered about fruit. Fruit generally rots quickly, and there are various methods to preserve it (e.g. freeze dry). Try raw nuts (e.g. almonds, pistachio, peanut) versus organic nuts and tell me what tastes more fresh. I bet many people have neve even eaten a raw almond/pistachio/peanut. Some fruits are always organic, like coconut. And some countries simply have other (stricter) rules than others.

Anyway, the compare is moot because open source or not says nothing about the quality of the product, and organic has nothing to do with 'openness'.
