The market potential for in-conversion organic products in Ireland.

Abstract

End of Project ReportThis report deals with the market for and financial feasibility of converting from conventional to organic food production in Ireland. All members of the organic supply chain were included in the study i.e. farmers, intermediaries, retailers and consumers, to examine the potential of a market for conversion grade produce. Conversion products are those produced in the second year of the conversion phase from conventional to organic farming. Products do not attain full organic status until this is completed.This research was carried out within the European Commission’s Fifth Framework Programme (project “CONVERSION” QLK-2000-01112)
