| 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. |
