German term or phrase: Spartenprodukt
Alles aus einem Guss. Josef Z. setzt auf ganzheitliche
Konzepte. Sowie bei seinen Schokoladen, wo er bewusst
auf die typische quadratische Portionierung verzichtet,
wurde die Entscheidung für kontrolliert biologischen
Anbau auf ganzer Linie getroffen. „Wir wollten kein
Spartenprodukt mit Bio-Label herstellen, sondern uns
bewusst für Bio entscheiden.“

Explanation:
I see more sense for your "unique" client if he compares himself to the mass produced items than the "niche items". Therefore, I disagree and offer you the other translation.

So you think your customer doesn't want a niche product with bio label?
He has decided then for what exactly? mass produced, non-standard shaped bio products? You may want to rethink this one...
Good luck,
Glenn
