Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of legislation, also legal doctrine in the sphere of the organic crop production. The authors dwell on the analysis of the provisions of Ukraian Laws of September 3, 2013 «On production and circulation of organic agricultural products and raw materials» and July 10, 2018 «On basic principles and requirements for organic production, circulation and labeling of organic products».They indicate positive and negative characteristics of these Laws and note that the legislation in thein the sphere of organic production of agricultural crop products is in the process of formation and needs further improvement, including the requirements of EU legislation. Given the fact that in the scientific literature organic crop production is considered as an integral part of organic production, without disclosing its special features, special attention is paid to the definition of the features of the first type of activity.An analysis of Ukrainian legislation allows the authors to conclude that the concept of organic crop production includes not only crop production as a traditional branch of agricultural production, but also the procurement of such organic objects of the plant world as wild plants, algae and mushrooms. This indicates about impossibility of reducing this activity exclusively to organic farming.
