Abstract
Consumers increasingly appreciate high quality and nutritional value of organic products. Therefore distribution network is growing, organic food is offered by all sorts of shopping centers and online stores. The aim of the study was to analyze and evaluate the range of organic food of Polish and foreign origin available in select retail locations in Warsaw, and online stores. Results show that the range of products offered by Internet shops is much richer than in retail stores. In both types of shops the assortment is not sufficiently varied. The stores offer a variety of sweets and snacks, teas, soft drinks and juices and products from the group such as groats, rice, sesame seeds and grains. The products from groups such as meat, dairy products, mushrooms, wine, desserts, ice cream, additions to the desserts are lacking. There is also evident lack of fresh fruits and vegetables. Priority should be given to increase the availability of organic products in the areas of distribution, as well as to increase the range of products offered by Polish producers. It is also necessary to augment the consumer awareness of high quality and nutritional value of organic products.
