Abstract: The work’s goal was to analyse the factors influencing decision of purchase of organic food by citizens of Krosno. Objects and research methods: the research conducted in 2010-2011 was executed with the use of a standardized inquiry questionnaire on a sample of 224 randomly picked citizens of Krosno. Results: Respondents declaring the purchase of organic food, most often upon its purchasing, pay attention to price and expiry date. When purchasing organic food the least important are shop assistant’s persuasion and the sort of package. Half of the buyers notice considerable difference between organic and conventional food. Almost all the respondents were at least content with the purchased organic food. Conclusions: 1. For citizens of Krosno, the availability of organic comestible food is limited by its high price and also by the fact that they are not on offer of stores in which respondents do the shopping most often. 2. The important factors influencing the increase in purchasing organic food are said to be the consumer’s greater awareness and advertisement.
