Green Deal supports the ecological production as one of its pillars in the farm to fork strategy with the aim to increase ecological production up to 25% of the whole agricultural production in the EU.
In the central part of Poland but also in regions where the land structure doesn’t allow creation of bigger plots, many producers are focusing on berries production.
This way of production isn’t promising for the development of organic production in Poland, but more a diversification of income on a farm.
Existing processing plants are mills, freezing plants, fruit and vegetable processing plants , pasta factories, dairies, bakeries, several butchers, etc.
Compared to other EU countries, organic processing in Poland is an underdeveloped segment, not exploiting raw material potential or demand potential.
Next to that there is a chain of stores dedicated to organic products only and since 10 years in several bigger cities of Poland bio bazars are organized where farmers can sell their products to consumers directly.
The new EU Green Deal strategy, which aims to increase the area of organic farming in the EU to 25% of agricultural land by 2030, is a huge boost and will certainly contribute to the importance of organic farming and food in the country’s economy.
