Regional legislation on organic products: state and problems

The author analyzes the legislation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation on organic products. Based on the results of the analysis, he comes to the following conclusions: 1) in some regions, laws on organic products have been adopted, in others, agrarian legislative acts have been supplemented with such norms; 2) the features of regional regulation are manifested mainly in the determination of measures of state support for producers of organic products; 3) most regional acts do not take into account the specifics of the regions, their norms legally unreasonably duplicate the provisions of federal legislation. Thus, only a deep understanding of the priorities, needs and opportunities of a particular region ensures the formation of effective legislation on organic products of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
