Oil flax is a niche crop with particular potential for organic farming. As the only crop in the flax family, oil flax is an ideal addition to crop rotation. In addition, this crop shows only low demands on the soil and nutrient supply and is also an enrichment for agrobiodiversity, because where flax is cultivated, many rare wild herbs grow that otherwise have no chance. For some years now, linseed oil has developed increasing popularity in the organic markets. Cold-pressed linseed provides a healthy edible oil that is extremely rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
The increasing demand for organic linseed from regional cultivation currently offers good sales opportunities. However, anyone who wants to start growing this niche crop should first find out about the sales opportunities in the region.
