Organic farming is one of the main directions of the EU’s farm-to-fork strategy in connection with the European Green Deal. In Poland, organic farming developed dynamically from the accession to the European Union until 2013 and then slowed down. This is a good reason to investigate the conditions affecting the supply side of organic food, especially that the distribution system hardly absorbs the production potential of Polish organic farming. There are few studies with in-depth analysis of relationships between farms and distributors. The research objectives adopted in this paper are the assessment of the intensity of the relations between farmers and organic food distributors. The analysis is based on desk research and the results of a survey of 120 owners of certified organic farms and 120 representatives of shops offering organic products. The results of the analysis show that there are many shops that are supplied by farmers (with a high intensity of relations with farmers) and, at the same time, few farmers selling their products to shops (with a low intensity of relations). Along with the low intensity of farmers’ relations with food processors, this is one of the main barriers to supply development.

Rolnictwo ekologiczne jest jednym z głównych kierunków unijnej strategii „Od pola do stołu” związanej z Europejskim Zielonym Ładem. W Polsce rolnictwo ekologiczne rozwijało się dynamicznie od wejścia do Unii Europejskiej do 2013 roku. Następnie rozwój ten wyhamował, a więc warto zbadać uwarunkowania wpływające na stronę podażową żywności ekologicznej, tym bardziej, że niewiele jest opracowań z dogłębną analizą relacji między gospodarstwami rolnymi a dystrybutorami. Celem badań przyjętym w artykule jest ocena intensywności relacji pomiędzy rolnikami a dystrybutorami żywności ekologicznej. Analiza opiera się na wynikach badań ankietowych przeprowadzonych wśród 120 właścicieli certyfikowanych gospodarstw ekologicznych oraz 120 przedstawicieli sklepów oferujących produkty ekologiczne. Wyniki analizy pokazują, że istnieje wiele sklepów, które są zaopatrywane przez rolników (o dużej intensywności relacji z rolnikami), a jednocześnie niewielu jest rolników sprzedających swoje produkty do sklepów (przy niskiej intensywności relacji). Wraz z niską intensywnością relacji rolników z przetwórcami żywności jest to jedna z głównych barier rozwoju podaży. System dystrybucji w niewielkim stopniu absorbuje potencjał produkcyjny polskiego rolnictwa ekologicznego.
