Акциони план ЕУ за развој органске производње (2021-2027)
Action plan of the European Union for the development of organic production (2021-2027)

Summary/Abstract: This work aims to determine and present the basic elements of the European Union Action Plan on Organic Production from 2021 to 2027. The methods used in this research are text analysis, the comparative method, the formal legal method, and the statistical method. After the introduction and presentation of the overall measures brought by this document, the paper content is presented in three sections: 1) Stimulating demand and ensuring consumer confidence; 2)Stimulating conversion and strengthening the value chain; and 3) Improving the contribution to the sustainability of organic agriculture. In the section that pertains to assessing the significance of this EU regulation in the relevant area of the Republic of Serbia, a comparison was made with the Strategy of Agriculture and Rural Development of the Republic of Serbia for the period from 2014 to 2024 in the part that relates to organic production, bearing in mind the relevant statistical data in our country at the time. Namely, this Strategy states that after the implementation of incentives to promote organic production, a constant increase in the number of producers and areas where organic production methods are applied was observed. However, as stated, the domestic market for organic products remains underdeveloped due to insufficient efforts made thus far in educating producers and consumers and promoting organic products. At the same time, one of the strategic goals of this Strategy was to increase the area under organic production by 33 percent in the observed period until 2024. Therefore, in line with adopting the Strategy for Agricultural Development in the next ten years, a national action plan on developing organic production should be adopted to improve organic production in our country, following the abovementioned EU action plan.
