Poland: Organic Products. Certification and Subsidies to Domestic Production, 2008. GAIN Report Number PL8006

摘要

American and European organic standards are not yet equivalent although they achieve the same end result for fulfilling a vision of healthy, nutritious and natural foods. Exporters wishing to supply their products to Poland (EU-27) or to the U.S. have to obtain additional certification on their products. Due to the small demand for such services, there is no Polish certifier accredited by USDA for the National Organic Program. However, Polish companies can request the certificate from other EU certifiers and they have local offices. EU farmers in Poland receive subsidy payments to become organically certified and organic farmers receive supplemental payments for their farms.
