The organic food market has been increased rapidly for last five years, especially in EU, U.S.A., and Japan. The increasing rate of the consumption of organic food per year is 15-30% in those countries. The study focused on the trend, prospect, certification procedure of organic livestock farming, and supply system of organic feed for the organic livestock in the world.
Large scale marketing firms play a leading role for the marketing of the organic livestock products in U.S.A. EU has explored several direct selling roots by farms themselves. However, the production and marketing of the organic livestock by the standard of the CODEX has not been existed in Korea. There are many private certification organizations for the certification system in U.S.A. In the case of EU countries, private certification organizations issue the certification and each government supervises the organizations. The National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service(NAQS) certifies the organic livestock in Korea. US and Canada produce 1/3 of the organic feed of the world in 2000. The result of the study shows countermeasures against consumer, government, producer, marketing and certification of the organic livestock farming for the development of the organic livestock industry in Korea.
