2010 in accordance with the principles of the Principles of Organic Agriculture published by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs organic productare certified products in raw, semi-finished or finished products produced in accordance with the methods of organic farming.
Organic product or ecological productThese products are produced without any chemical inputs, additives and methods that are harmful to the ecosystem and human health at all stages of production, from seed to harvest and until the product reaches the consumer from the harvest. In this way, organic products are controlled and certified.
In general, natural, natural, hormone-free, pure or village product such expressions are used, but they do not have any legal basis. Expressions that define a reputation as organic are only ecological and biological expressions. Some producers who have the opportunity to start to raise awareness on organic products, ecology and health are misled by these words. Even if hormones are not used in a product, artificial fertilizers and some pesticides can be used during production. This prevents the product from becoming organic.
Today, agricultural products are used to get higher yields, to collect the product early, to keep the shelf life of the products longer and for similar reasons. Remnants of agrochemicals cause various diseases in humans. But, more importantly, water resources are polluted and soils are becoming more and more inefficient.
Products that are consumed today with organic products are grown in the same conditions and in the same environment and at the same time they are collected and analyzed at the same time, it is seen that organic products are more nutritious and contain less nitrate in terms of minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and nutrient fibers such as phosphorus, zinc and iron. . But next to human health ecological production doing so means a contribution to the preservation of nature.
In ecological production, fighting against seeds, fertilizers and pests creates high costs. As the drug is not used, the weed control increases the labor cost. Artificial fertilizers and pesticides are not used as high efficiency. Control, certification and analysis are cost factors. Since there is no higher version, demand remains low, which creates costs such as transportation and storage. Due to all these, the prices of ecological products are slightly higher. Prices will be reduced at the rate of demand created.
