Wagon jump Eastern on organic

Last year, 96 percent of the world accounted for sales of organic products of the United States and the EU Western countries. Eastern European countries are however increasingly discover the benefits of organic.

The booming global organic market was worth an estimated EUR 33 billion ($ 43 billion) year 2006.Obwohl Eastern European countries only a tiny part of this market represented was the production of organic farming and were once known for its industrial assemblies and grey apartment buildings on a steady rise in the region.

Thanks to the increasing income and environmental awareness, start domestic markets emerge in the region. Experts say that Poland and Czech Republic the largest markets for organic products, followed by Hungary. According to Tom Vã¡clavã­k, who runs a Czech organic consulting company called green marketing bought Czech consumers were estimated at 18 million worth of organic in 2006. This can be a drop in the bucket compared to Germany-Europe's largest organic market which is but a amounting to €3.9 billion triple growth period of five years expected could. "Rising demand is incredible", said Vã¡clavã­k. "The market combined 80 percent grew in the last two years." The demand is really mainly in large cities.The media are also increasingly concerned about the quality of food production. "RIPE for investment home organic production was due to an interest in organic products unable to keep up with demand." Organic products mainly from Germany, the Netherlands, Italy France and even the United Kingdom come, "said Vã¡clavã­k." "In the field" processed food ", I'd say it could be 60 or even 70% are imported. This is a common history across Eastern Europe where organic products mainly raw such as e.g. grain-wheat, rye and barley- and berries, some fruits and vegetables. There is currently little investment in processing and production of organic were in the region. "I think the market is ripe for new investment and new products," said Vã¡clavã­k. "The market is still in the early stages of development, but it is pretty cheap to invest." "It will be more expensive in five years." Expansion of farmland The expansion of organic farmland in Eastern Europe are fueling the growing Eastern European domestic markets and the booming Western markets. In 2006, approximately 280,000 acres (ha 692,000) under production, Poland had the Czech Republic 220,000 hectares and Hungary 130,000 Hektar--make these three countries the market leaders. But there is reason to believe that organic production in other Eastern European countries and will pick up. "Looking the Western markets demand outstripping supply in many areas,", said Vã¡clavã­k. "There is the lack of milk, meat and organic feed, which has produced his somewhere." "I think some of the new EU countries like the Czech Republic, Romania and Bulgaria, but the Slovakia could produce organic products." Europe organic grain basket Other important newcomer to the organic scene is the Ukraine. 240,000 Hectares in production, it is the second major producer in Central and Eastern Europe. The vast majority Ukraine's organic farms more than 3,000 hectares are großen--. By Eugene Milovanov of the organic Federation of Ukraine production still mainly on wheat for export is limited. "Ukraine already developed agricultural and environmental agricultural country," said Milovanov."It was the grain basket of Europe in ancient times and it becomes organic grain basket of Europe now always.""If you look closely what happens to the demand in the Netherlands, Germany and United Königreich--these countries have a great demand for cereals, and was a great lack of Ukrainian provides already covered this year."Milovanov says Ukraine of organic sector back by the lack of legislation setting kept formed the Government wird.Im in 2004 but a working group on the draft legislation and it is hoped that the Parliament passed the law this year.
