Abstract
In order to create or design a development, it is necessary to have a look backwards. To identify and understand the resources based on the possessed knowledge, steps for development are proposed. But, no less important is to understand the surrounding, what others are doing/planning, as it will save precious time in inventing something which is maybe already implemented elsewhere. Based on that assumption, this paper deals with the analysis of the current status of the organic farming (O.F.) in Macedonia and the Mediterranean countries, as they are closest to the soil and climate conditions that exist in Macedonia as well. This paper will try to give answer to the question “how to maintain the present level of development and to set parameters which should be used in order to reach further
development”. The analysis process was implemented by using SWOT (strength, weakness, opportunity, and
threats) analysis for Macedonia and the Mediterranean countries. The analysis result indicates that there are
numerous common factors, resources, structures, and gaps in the organic sector. This paper’s goal is to present a list of strategic goals and instruments for development of O.F. in Macedonia and Mediterranean countries. 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 with special
accent to the new possibilities for development of O.F. in the near future, especially through applicative scientific research activities.
