Issues of proper normative and legal regulation of production and turnover of organic agricultural products; efficiency of state policy in the sphere of organic production: development of the appropriate control system at all stages of organic products manufacture and also procedure of inspection and certification of its manufacture and processing are under investigation in the article. Problems of marking of organic agricultural products by means of provisions analysis of the Law of Ukraine On production and turnover of organic agricultural products and raw materials (hereinafter referred to as Law), including the problems of marking the products being at transition stage to organic production were considered. In particular, it is stated in the Law that marking the products being at transition stage to organic production is performed using state logotype «product at transition stage to organic production». We think that such situation can cause certain misuses on the part of producers as note «product at transition stage to organic production» has certain psychological stress creating in consumer the appropriate associations with «naturality» and safety of this product in comparison to others. It was established that despite of progressiveness of the Law the majority of its provisions remain declarative as they can't be implemented without adoption of proper sublegal normative and legal acts. Nowadays no the authorized body for conformity assessment was formed, no proper register was created, no graphic image of state logotype for marking «organic product» was determined. Thus, the author made a conclusion that administrative and legal regulation of production and turnover of organic products needs to be improved, especially of proper normative and legal regulation that will enable effective implementation of the corresponding measures of state supervision and control in this sphere.
