The general purpose of the work was to assess the development of the organic food market in Poland and to indicate the reasons for the limited development of this market from the marketing point of view. To carry out the research, a survey has been conducted on a sample of consumers to check the attitude of Polish consumers to organic food and to the marketing elements associated with this food. Consumers’ knowledge about this food in Poland and shopping habits have also been examined. The reasons for the limited development of this market in Poland have also been diagnosed.

The research has been made on 1159 customers from Silesian Voivodeship. In selection, the snowball method has been used as a selection method, then the statistical analyze has been made with using Excel.

In the case of such products as meat, bread, fruit, or vegetables, the packaging has only preservative functions to protect
