In European countries, different terms are used for organic production and organic food: organic, biological, ecological.

The use of different terms is associated with national, linguistic and historical features.

In Ukraine, only the term “organic” is used, which is defined by the legislation on Basic Principles and Requirements for Organic Production, Circulation and Labelling of Organic Products.

Products imported to Ukraine with other terms and produced in accordance with the organic legislation of other countries are translated into Ukrainian and marked with the inscription “organic product”.
