ICAP Group, April 2009, Pages: 49
This study considers the sector of organic foodstuffs and mostly focuses on organic olive oil, organic wine and organic citrus fruit.
Organic agriculture is an integrated production system with less nutritive element inflows (fertilizers) and plant-protection substances in comparison with the conventional integrated production systems. In addition, it represents a holistic approach which aims to produce agricultural products without chemical residues as well as to develop environmentally-friendly production methods in order to preserve the soil's fertility.
The Greek sector of organic foodstuffs has shown continued growth. This study assesses the sector of organic plant products, its progress and prospects.
Organic agriculture is an integrated system of production with less nutritive element inflows (fertilizers) and plant-protection substances in comparison with the conventional integrated production systems. In addition, it represents a holistic approach which aims to produce agricultural products without chemical residues as well as to develop environmentally-friendly production methods in order to maintain the soil's fertility.
In Greece, the organic means of production started to be used in the beginning of the 80’s when certain farmers shifted toward this direction and rejected chemical inflows. In 1993, the implementation of Community Directive 2092/91 in our country significantly motivated the conversion of many conventional type of cultivations into organic. In addition, the institution of the specific regulation created a Community framework with production, labeling and control rules which protect agriculture with organic methods - at the extent that this framework ensures fair competition between producers and impedes no-name products from entering the organic market. What is more, it provides transparency in every production and processing stage. In 1996, financial aids -through the implementation of EEC Regulation 2078/92- came to further boost organic agriculture by increasing the number of organic farmers and organically-cultivated areas.
