Ekonomi i odling av ekologiskt potatisutsäde
According to the EEG-councils regulation nr 2092/91, all seed used in organic production
must have organic origin. All seed which is offered for sale must be controlled by
KRAV, and also comply with the rules of the seedlegislation. The seedlegislation
contains demands respecting origin, quality, growingconditions and freedom from
deseases. In this piece of work I will investigate the profitability of organic
potatoseedproduction, and also what it takes to produce potatoseed.
The workmethod has been to, with help from counsellors and growers, make some
compareable calculations for foodpotatoes and seedpotatoes, and also with help from a
literaturestudy investigate which requires an organic seedcultivation must fulfil.
In this piece of work I found out that the organic potatoseedproduction still is to insecure
to be profitable. The attack of potatoleafmould, which is out of control, cause unequal
yields and this will bring that the new EU-rules, concerning organic seed, not seems
defendable yet.
