Agrarian university has been granted the observer -partner status of national union of producers and consumers of organic products

According to the results of research, developmental and technological works in 2018 on the theme “Development of a regional model of organic livestock and poultry farming for the production of raw materials and the creation of food with specified quality parameters” (headed by Professor Epimakhova E.E.) Agrarian University was awarded the honorary status of an observer partner of the National Union of Producers and Consumers of Organic Products.

The modern food market demonstrates the active development of the organic crop and livestock sector, due to a number of reasons. Of them: perceived danger to the health of the population of industrial products with a high density of livestock of animals, with various kinds of synthetic additives in feed; distrust of GMOs; negative attitude to traditional products due to animal diseases; a comprehensive information company for the promotion of organic products and others.

The volume of the organic market in Russia today is € 160 million; prospects are € 5-10 billion. Export of organic products is now less than € 1 million and it is predicted that in the future this figure will be € 5-10 billion.
