Developing organic fruit and vegetables in Poland

There has been a huge increase of land used under organic managment in Poland recently. According to figures of the Ministry of Agriculture, the number of ecological farms exceeded 7000, and the acreage amounts 16.500 hectares. The bad news is that only 5% of the mentioned acreage is used for the production of fruits and berries and less than 2% for vegetables.

Although the total hectares of fruit and vegetable production is low in Poland, Poland has emerged as a key player in the organic fruit for industry sector. Symbio has been developing organic agriculture since the early 1990's and exports thousands of tons of many kinds of fruit throughout Europe and North America.
