Resumo: 	This paper attempts to quantitatively  measure  the  change in the productivity  of  Danish organic  farming  in  recent  years.  Based  on  a  translog production  frontier  framework  the technical and scale efficiency on farm level is analysed by following a time trends as well as a general index model specification. We further  try to analyse the significance of subsidies for promoting long term growth in organic production by estimating a bootstrapped bivariate probit model with respect to factors influencing the probability of organic market exit. The results  revealed  significant  differencies  in  the  organic  farms'  technical  efficiencies,  no significant  total  factor  productivity  growth  and  even  a  slightly  negative  rate  of  technical change  in  the  period  investigated. We  found  evidence  for  a  positive  relationship  between subsidy  payments  and  an  increase  in  farm  efficiency,  technology  improvements  and  a decreasing probability of organic market exit which was also confirmed for off farm income.
