Minister of Agriculture Georg-Ludwig von Breitenbuch (CDU) believes that Saxony is well equipped for the trend towards more organic products. Plant-based products in particular are in high demand on the growing organic market, he said in a statement at the opening of the BioOst trade fair in Leipzig. According to the report, sales in this area rose by six to seven percent last year.
"Saxon farmers are well-positioned here, as they can produce consistent quantities and good quality." The aim is to continue to promote organic farming and conventional cultivation at a high level.
