Conducting a market study on alternative forms of milk marketing in the state of Saxony (East Germany). The aim of the study is to show the current situation and market potential and thus to ensure the economic competitiveness of Saxon milk producers.

Activities of ECOZEPT:
Ecozept carries out this market study together with AMI GmbH. The core of the study is a two-stage survey in the three value chains of cow, goat and sheep milk, which is carried out by telephone and online among about 100 market participants (production, processing, trade) and the industry representatives. On the basis of the data obtained in this way and an analysis of strengths and weaknesses, a follow-up project will quantify the market potential of individual marketing forms and derive concrete recommendations for action.

The economic importance of direct sales (in organic production) WiBiDi

Direct sales are an important trade sector in Germany. Around 2,45 billion euros is spent each year on weekly markets and directly from farmers alone. However, there is yet no scientific data on the importance of direct marketing of organic products for both farmers and the national economy. The main aim of this project is therefore to evaluate the national and regional economic importance of direct marketing of organic products in Germany, and to elaborate a method which allows regular updates in statistical data. Simultaneously, the collected data should enable to develop economic indicators of marketing channels such as market stalls, vending machines or mail order.
