Abstract

The main purpose of the research was to attempt to diagnose the potential and determine the conditions for the development of organic agricultural production in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodship. The survey was conducted in 2018 and covered organic farms and processing plants. The main problem of the development of agriculture and processing of organic agricultural products is a lack of adequate production scale that would enable the organization of the organic food market. What is disturbing is the fact that the market, considered to be growing and defined as niche, in the analysis of the production sector, is, unfortunately, indicating a downward trend. It is, therefore, necessary to cooperate between the representatives of links in the scope of support and development of joint production, promotional and distribution initiatives. It is also necessary to adapt information to various target markets covered by the common brand. In assessing the development prospects for the production and market of organic food, it is necessary to monitor production, build the infrastructure to support the sales organization and indicate the target market for consumers of this specific category of products.
