Russia to get organic food category

The lower chamber of the Russian Parliament (Duma) has started to draft a law about ecologically clean vegetables. According to the future law, the vegetables in the markets should be sold with special tag, informing customers about compliance with international ecological standards. This approach has been in practice in Europe for a long time already with organic produced labelled as such and sold for premium prices.

According to experts, the price of organically tagged vegetables will go up 30% at least.

As member of the Russian Duma, Mrs. Nadezhda Shkolkina, estimates, the organic production of vegetables will occupy about 10% of the total sector. Mr. Victor Semenov, the founder of Belaya Dacha Group of Companies, informs that the main difference of organic fruits and vegetables from regular ones is that they are produced avoiding the use of chemical fertilizers and other harmful elements.
