Abstract

The paper’s objective was to define the main supply sources of organic food processing companies and the barriers occurring in the process of raw produce acquisition. Therefore, in 2019, a survey on organic food processing enterprises was carried out. The survey among 55 processing companies concerned supply in raw organic produce, sales channels, and collaboration within the organic food supply chain. The research results show that the providers of organic food processors are mostly farmers and, to a lesser extent – intermediaries. In the process of provider selection, what is most important for processors are the quality and availability of agricultural products as well as the trust and credibility of a producer. In their opinion, the most important problems occurring in organic food processing are irregularity of deliveries and an inadequate amount of raw produce supplied. Consequently, a number of processors import part of the raw material needed for their production. Therefore, in order to improve the functioning of the processing sphere, measures in the area of farmer and processor collaboration and the improvement of the distribution system need to be introduced or intensified
