As the leading organic producer association in Northern Germany,
Öko-Korn-Nord is a leading producer association that has been fully committed to organic farming since its founding in 1991. With over 100 members, about 80% of whom belong to the Bioland association, they jointly market their grain and legume products. The company is the largest organic grain producer community in Niedersachsen and Sachsen-Anhalt and also has connections to other federal states such as Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Nordrhein-Westfalen[1][3].
The mission of Öko-Korn-Nord is to cultivate fair partnerships and ensure the satisfaction of customers and suppliers. The company attaches great importance to regionality and product safety and actively promotes organic farming[1][5].
Öko-Korn-Nord is strongly committed to sustainable practices in agriculture. By using seeds from conversion areas and promoting organic cultivation, the company contributes to reducing the ecological footprint[2]. In addition, the seed facility in Uelzen has been supported by EU funding, which has further advanced the modernization and efficiency of the facility[4].
Through long-standing partnerships with processors and the creation of short, transparent supply chains, Öko-Korn-Nord sets standards in the industry and promotes the regional economy at the same time.
