Abstract

The idea for conducting this research and comparative analysis elaborated in this paper,
popped-out from several of our conclusions related to the Organic Farming (O.F.) in
Macedonia and the Mediterranean countries. After close study of the SWOT analysis
performed in Macedonia and by the Mediterranean countries it is clear that there are
numerous common factors, resources, structures and gaps in the organic sector. The research
goal in this paper is to present in a sublimated referent document in a form of listed strategic
goals and instruments for development of O.F. in Macedonia and Mediterranean countries.
The following methods were used: comparative-analytical, statistical and results from
surveys are presented. The beginnings and developments stages of the O.F. are described,
current status, sector analysis, on-going policies and development initiatives as well. The data
related to the facts and visions are referred to the Republic of Macedonia, but relevant data on
EU countries, candidate-countries and south Mediterranean countries are presented as well.
The conclusions are formulated in a common SWOT analysis with special accent on the new
possibilities for development of O.F. in the near future, especially through applicative
scientific research activities.
