Title: Updating the National Strategy for Organic Production in Macedonia

Objective: The concept for organic agricultural production as well as the creation and implementation of the policy for the organic agricultural production – in terms of legislative framework, implementing legislation and subsidies – has been defined within the National Strategy for Organic Agricultural Production (2008-2011). The Strategy has been successfully realized and a great part of the planned measures and activities within the Action Plan for the realization of the Strategy has already been completed. However there is a need for updating and preparation of a National Strategy for Organic Agricultural Production for the forthcoming period (2012-2017) in order to secure the continuous development of the sector.
