Morphology
The meaning 'fruit grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers' is directly compositional from 'organic' (grown without synthetics) modifying 'fruit' (edible produce). This adjective+noun pattern is transparent and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Organic fruit comes from the word organic, which originally meant 'living' or 'from living things'. Farmers who used natural materials like compost and avoided 'artificial chemicals' called their produce organic fruit, so today it means fruit grown 'without artificial chemicals'.
