Spain: a support plan for organic farming
06/16/2007
Spain plans to invest €36 million by 2010 in order to expand organic farming.
The plan initiated by the Ministry of Agriculture involves several administrative and professional bodies in the organic farming sector.
It lays down three objectives: the expansion of organic production, a rise in domestic consumption (currently 70% of organic production is exported) thanks to information and marketing campaigns, and finally improvements in cooperation between the institutions and the management funds.
