STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF ORGANIC FOOD PROCESSING

Abstract

The aim of the paper was to discuss the main strengths and weaknesses of organic food raw material processing. The grounds for the analysis were results of inquiry research conducted among 75 organic processors. It was found that undertaking the organic processing is an advantage and strength in the surveyed enterprises in relation to increasing and unsatisfied demand on their products. However, a weakness of the processing is a low level of production resulting from barriers on the organic farming raw material supply side as well as dispersion of suppliers. Organisation of producers’ groups on the supply side and other cooperative links may in future cause reduction of the indicated barriers and better utilization of the potential of organic agriculture as a supplier of raw materials for processing.<br/><br/>
