| Organic inspections serve consumers and citizens and aim to protect them. Since the organic certification system involves considerable costs, economic aspects have to be considered when deciding on the optimal frequency of inspection. Using a theoretical model containing the relevant variables and parameters, the optimal level of unannounced inspections is discussed. The model takes into account the potential damage due to severe infringements, the costs of unannounced inspections, the producers’ costs of complying with the standards and the sanctions due to infringements. Four possible inspection strategies are presented. The authors plan to further develop the model by applying data and expert knowledge collected within the CERTCOST project. |

| With the ongoing growth of the organic sector and the spread of organic production across the EU, the field of organic certification has become a maze of competing labels and logos. This diversity reflects the specific conditions in different regions and countries, but can also lead to confusion for producers and consumers, as well as create a variety of costs. It is imperative to conduct a comprehensive economic analysis of the variety of existing certification systems and their impact on the internal European market for organic goods. This project proposes to combine the experience and knowledge of both researchers and SMEs to analyse the implementation of organic certification systems and to estimate all relevant expenditures or transaction costs for... |
