First of all, this applies to crop production: sunflower seeds, soybeans and cereals, high protein crops, processed fruits and berries, walnuts, medicinal herbs, aromatic plants, and honey.
Comparative evaluation of the Ukrainian and European regulatory and legal frameworks in the regulation of organic sector allows to conclude on a general convergence of the above documents. The most problematic issue remains the state support for the development of organic production. In this context, the primary task consists in practical implementation of the still only declared strategy of the priority development of organic production in Ukraine.
