Organic Productíon

The control systems in different countries are often difficult to compare.

In Denmark organic production is exclusively supervised by independent public authorities:

• The Plant Directorate (Danish Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries)
  is responsible for the control of the primary production
  
• The Veterinary and Food Administration
  covers the control of products for human consumption with reference to organic agriculture

The elements of the control of organic production are:

1. Primary production (farms)
2. Organic food products (abattoirs)
3. Own control programme /HACCP (abattoirs)
4. Certificate of organic origin (attending all organic products)
5. Traceability
