The priority campaign to be taken in promotion of Ecological Agriculture is to develop the domestic market for existing certified products. The promotional campaign would be targeted at the Lithuanian consumer, who would be able to buy organic products. There is a very big demand for ecological products in Lithuania. Main products are vegetables, honey, grain, grass-tea. We have not special shops, and the ecological products have been realized in the farm market.
Next step is to find a market in foreign countries to sell our products.
It will help to involve more conventional farmers into ecological farming. For marketing of ecoproducts we have established cooperative Ekoimpulsas . There is no an advisory system for ecological agriculture in Lithuania. We expect to establish the advisory service in Lithuania with assistance from the Swedish Institute of Ecological farming. Lithuania already has an inspection and certification system but the system needs further improvement and recognition by the European Commission, because the movement has ambitions to export part of its ecological production.
