I have a friend who runs a fairly large produce distribution business. According to him it is not uncommon for sellers to simply change the label to "organic" on regular (non-organic) produce. This gives them an easy mark-up and more profit. Also they tend to market the ugliest produce that they wouldn't be able to sell elsewhere as "organic", so the quality tends to be lower, too.
I know it's not scientific, and I can't give any actual numbers, but I trust his opinion.
