“…This also raises the question of the recent whole farm profitability of breeding suckler cows under Common Agricultural Policy schemes. The findings concerning organic and conventional cattle breeding are in accordance with other authors (Delate et al, 2003;Pimentel et al, 2005;Urfi et al, 2013;Gillespie and Nehring, 2013). At the same time, studies point out that the extra price for organic products is often insufficient to achieve greater profits every year.…”

This article deals with organic farming in the Czech Republic and discusses ecological agriculture of the country in both perspectives, consumer and a production point of view. This article presents the results of a primary data collected after questionnaire survey. This survey revealed the popularity of organic products among consumers. Furthermore, the popularity of individual products, a higher willingness to pay, and other aspects like the application of organic products on the market was determined. For evaluation of the selected dependency, the chi-square (χ 2) test of goodness of fit was used. To assess the economic point of view (production view), data from the FADN (Farm Accountancy Data Network) database were used. The conventional and organic systems are compared in the article. A comparison of the costs and benefits of selected products in both farming systems is also provided.

“…Adhikari (2009) also concluded that carrot production in organic system was insignificantly lower than inorganic system, moreover, revenue per hectare for carrot production remained lower in organic system relative to inorganic system whilst, in contrast, gross margin was found higher in organic production system as compared to inorganic production system. Urfi et al (2013) found that per hectare cost of organic farming was lower than that of conventional farming for crops such as grape, wheat, sunflower, maize, the lower cost of organic farming was due to lower costs of plant protection and fertilization. Furthermore, it also concluded that organic farming was more profitable.…”

The objective of this study are 1) To review the definition of organic farming 2) To investigate the international and local standard for organic food and 3) To compare gross margin between organic and inorganic paddy farming. Using field evaluation and interview techniques, this study conducted a study on 3 organic farms and 27 inorganic paddy farms in Malaysia. Two leading organic agriculture regulators in the world are IFOAM and USDA, IFOAM allows private standard setters to define their additional criteria and USDA does not allow others to set a standard that is above the federal. This study also laid out a few organic accreditations in several Asian countries including Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, Japan, India, and China. Field evaluation of conventional and organic paddy plantation are discussed and it is found that organic plantation earned less gross margins (13.5 %) as compared to inorganic farming. This study may give some inputs for the Research and Development (R&D) department to improve the organic farming activities and how to reduce its cost and increase its gross margin. Organic farming is important as it is sustainable to lure bio-economy strategy and food security in Malaysia as laid out in National Agricultural Policy.

“…In most of the study, it is found that organic farming is a sustainable farming practice as yield and net profit are higher in comparison with conventional farming, and proper technical guidance, quality of bio inputs at an affordable price and forward linkage will increase agricultural productivity and improve farmer’s livelihood (Reddy and Mundinamani, 2013; Poyyamoli and Padmavathy, 2011). However, it was found that the yield in organic crop production is low as compared to conventional farming; however, the cost per hectare selling price was greater (Urfi et al , 2013).…”

Purpose The global organic market is expanding, and India is in an advantageous position with the highest number of organic producers worldwide. Although many articles have been published on the value chain of organic products from India, no significant studies were found related to the value chain analysis of organic pineapple. This study aims to know the various aspects of the organic pineapple value chain, i.e. network structure, value addition at various stages of chain actors, value chain upgradation and governance structure. Design/methodology/approach The study is explorative in nature, and primary data from various actors involved in the chain is collected and analyzed. Primary data through a structured schedule and interviews are collected from farmers and traders. A multistage sampling plan has been adopted. A sample of 75 farmers was randomly selected from the study area. For traders, snowball sampling is used due to the nonavailability of the sampling frame. A total of 10 commission agents, 10 wholesalers and 20 retailers were thus selected for the study. For objectives 1 and 4, descriptive statistics are used. For objective 2, a modified formula described by (Murthy et al., 2007) is used to calculate farmer’s net price and marketing margin. For objective 3, Garrett’s ranking technique is used to identify various constraints in upgrading the organic pineapple value chain in Assam. Findings This study shows that the value chain of organic pineapple is in the initial stage and proper value addition is required to have a complete regulated value chain. Six marketing channel is identified, and products are sold through farmer producer company only in case of export and trade with distant buyers. The marketing efficiency for channels II and III is 1.69 and 0.99, respectively. The degree of value addition for channel II in the hands of the commission agent, wholesaler and retailer is 11.65%, 4.56% and 12.60%, respectively. In the various constraints in upgrading the value chain, farmers rank “policy support” as a major constraint. In the governance structure, trade with distant traders and exports is done formally and through written contracts. Research limitations/implications The study performs value chain analysis of organic pineapple in Cachar district of Assam, India for the year January 2022–January 2023. Future studies are encouraged related to various aspects of the supply chain and value chain of organic pineapple from various northeastern states of India and other states. Practical implications The study will help policymakers and key actors to know the existing chain and frame a well-coordinated and regulated value chain. Originality/value This study is one of the first study to explore the value chain of organic pineapple of Cachar district of Assam, India. Implementation of these findings can help various actors to strengthen the existing value chain.
