Abstract

During the last five years, organic agriculture methods have taken stronger roots also in Italy. Yields are generally low, but economic results can be enough satisfactory. Profitability depends mostly on the possibility to obtain a premium price. However, though noticeable efforts were done, there are still problems on the market side. Safeguard of consumers from frauds, and certification of the "organic" products are the two main problems that organic producers and public authorities have to face. Though organic agriculture is not the only solution to envronment and overproduction problems, it can give some contribution to them. There are some interesting market opportunities for organic products. Many people have declair their willingness to pay a 30% higher price for them. Recent EEC financial aids may contribute to a wider spread of organic agriculture.
