Methods of non-financial stimulation of organic farming

The goal is to study the best world practices of legislative and public support for organic farming for use in domestic conditions for the formation and development of the organic sector.

Widely practiced methods analysis and synthesis of international competencies, mainly from the countries of the European Union, scientific abstraction in substantiating the most important aspects of promoting organic agriculture were used. The analogy method was used to compare global statistical indicators of the organic segment in the EU, Europe and the world.

Results – it is confirmed that the best legislative and practical experience in supporting the organic market is in the EU countries. The motives for the transition of farming to organic technologies related to the expansion of domestic and foreign markets for environmentally friendly food products have been identified. It has been determined that the current rates of land involvement in organic production, improvement of infrastructure and market institutions in the republic are insufficient to harness the potential of green farming and create a competitive market. The need is substantiated and measures are proposed to optimize the legislative and regulatory framework of the organic sector in accordance with changing trends. It is proposed to adjust the concept of development of the agro-industrial complex by including organic agriculture in a priority industry and identifying its key indicators until 2030.

Conclusions – the study showed that high growth rates of green production and the market for organic products are inherent in countries where governments have initiated a public policy of protectionism for organic producers: the presence of legislation, an action plan, and a public support system. The updated law, harmonized with international standards, will effectively affect production in Kazakhstan.
