Table 2 indicates that the largest proportion of organic farmers is located in Prešov (24.42%) and Košice (17,44)
regions. The lowest number of organic farmers is located in Bratislava (3.78%) and Trnava (5.81%) regions. This is
apparent based from the natural conditions of the Slovak Republic, as in the regions of Prešov, Žilina, Banská
Bystrica and Košice the vast majority of agricultural land represents permanent grassland land of low value (GCCA,
2013), and therefore it is easier for farmers to decide whether to produce within the system of organic farming
