Project


Project code: 2813OE001
Contract period: 01.07.2013 - 31.03.2014
Budget: 38,527 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research

In the project „Analysis of the development of organic imported products with relevance for the German organic market” within the framework of the federal program for organic farming and other forms of sustainable agriculture (FKZ 09OE065) AMI, FIBL, AgroMilagro research, and fleXinfo have determined how many organic products and from which countries were imported to Germany in the year 2009/10 for plant products resp. 2010 for animal products. Therefore partners developed a mix of methods for the different products which shall be refined in this project to install a continuous annual reporting about organic imports. Taking the example 2011/12 for plant products resp. 2012 for animal products the methods shall be adapted compared to the previous project. 4 different ways are planned to be used: 1. Foreign trade statistic of the federal statistical office, firm-specific data of 100 % organic companies can be analysed if companies de-clare their willingness. 2. Survey among importers – together with the foreign trade statis-tics data minimum 50 companies shall be surveyed about their imports. 3. Analysis of GfK household panel data for fruit, vegetable, potatoes and eggs for plausibility checks with the other work packages. 4. Production volume statistics and estimation for the most important production countries, taking for prognoses and plausibility checks.
