Abstract

The paper presents the results of an empirical study of the state of organic agriculture in Russia, based on qualitative in-depth interviews with representatives of the industry – farmers, producers of organic plant protection products, employees of scientific and educational organizations. The historical prerequisites for the emergence of the industry are analyzed, the incentives are systematized, as well as barriers and constraints to the development of production of organic products. It is shown that the industry participants have a high market potential, as well as the potential to develop intra- and inter-branch cooperative links, including links with scientific organizations. The barriers to the development of the industry are classified into producer barriers, consumer barriers, and institutional constraints. The opinions of respondents on the state and prospects of the industry are given, recommendations on possible directions of state support for the sector of organic agriculture in Russia are given.
