"This year, too, ecologically questionable imports can be avoided"
The Bio-Kartoffel-Erzeuger e.V., an association of 240 farms nationwide engaged in organic potato and onion cultivation, ensures a sufficient domestic supply of organic potatoes for food retailers throughout the year. Despite challenges such as high energy costs, the war in Ukraine, and rising inflation, the association avoids ecologically questionable imports.
Both farmers and packing houses benefit from long-standing supply relationships, supporting the development of domestic organic farming. However, the continuous rise in production and storage costs poses challenges for the farms. To achieve the goal of 30% organic farming, further development of sales channels and collaboration across the entire value chain are essential.
