Surveys carried out in Hungary in connection with organic products and arising problems

摘要

In this presentation I draw conclusions regarding the problems which researchers may face when analysing the Hungarian organic market. The presentation is based on market research and the results of an analysis published by Hungarian researchers. There have been no exploratory qualitative surveys in Hungary yet. Market information is available from surveys carried out with questionnaires and the analysis of the results. During the surveys it became obvious that because of the lack of knowledge aboutorganic farming the results have to be handled carefully. It has to be taken into account that the products which consumers regard as organic are not always certified organic products. There has been no research in Hungary as part of an international survey on the Hungarian consumers of organic products. This makes it more difficult to compare the existing data on Hungary with those of the international markets.
