OrganicDataNetwork, FP 7, 2012-2014

The OrganicDataNetwork project will:

provide an overview of all relevant public and private organic data collectors;

collect currently available data on organic markets in Europe, and produce a European database after having checked their reliability and consistency;

develop a set of practical recommendations on data collection and dissemination (Code of Practice and a manual);

improve the availability and the quality of published market reports on the organic sector in a number of case study countries;

lay the foundations for a long-term collaboration on organic market data collection.

25

Funded under the 7th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development

Running 2012-2014 Coordinator: Prof. Dr. Raffaele

Zanoli, University of Ancona AIM: The OrganicDataNetwork

project aims to increase the transparency of the European market for organic food through better availability of market intelligence about the European organic sector in order to meet the needs of policy makers and market actors.

Conclusions

As in the past years, the organic area has shown good growth. The market grew at a higher rate than the organic land, and at

a higher rate than in 2010 and 2009. Many of the big markets are dependent on imports; e.g.

France imports 30 % of its organic products and it aims atreducing the import share.

From the 2012 data that are already available it can beconcluded that the market and the organic area continue togrow.

In 2013 the first results of the OrganicDataNetwork project will be avilable: The results of the end user survey; the inventory ofdata collectors and the product related information from themarket data survey.
