These farmers remembered the virtues of an associative production two years ago and today they have become the biggest Romanian producer of organic milk and meat, with a production of 3,600,000 litres of milk and 6,500 kg of beef annually. As the farms are located in areas known for high quality grazing and the animals are raised in an ecological system and fed with hay, lucerne, ecological rape and sunflower groats, Bio Carpathia products’ quality is guaranteed. Further exploiting the natural advantages of the cooperative, they also produce sheep meat.
Cultivating what the European Union is promoting as “the short food supply chains”, the cooperative has a high economic, social and cultural impact on the rural societies, facilitating a sustainable development. More than that, Bio Carpathia is revitalizing traditions in plant cultivation and animal husbandry, based on the technologies passed on from one generation to another for over 700 years, hence contributing to the preservation of an entire ecosystem
