Abstract: En Cataluna la produccion y transformacion de productos agrarios ecologicos ha experimentado un fuerte crecimiento. No obstante, en sectores como el del aceite de oliva este crecimiento ha sido mas moderado. El objetivo de este estudio es el de ofrecer una diagnosis del sector en Cataluna, desde la fase agraria de produccion ecologica de aceitunas hasta la produccion de aceite de oliva ecologico, a partir, basicamente, de la cuantificacion de los flujos de produccion tanto de productores de aceitunas como de elaboradores y/o envasadores de aceite. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que, aprozimadamente, una cuarta parte de la produccion de aceitunas calificada como "Agricultura Ecologica" de los productores de Cataluna seria vendida fuera del sector ecologico. En cambio, el aceite con certificacion "Agricultura Ecologica" producido por las empresas elaboradoras y/o envasadoras de Cataluna se habria obtenido en buena parte, a partir de aceitunas producidas fuera de Cataluna. In Catalonia the production and processing of organic agricultural products has experienced a significant growth. However, there are sectors such as olive oil in which this growth has been more moderate. The aim of this study is to provide a diagnosis about the first stage of the supply chain of organic olive oil in Catalonia. The analysis is basically based on the quantification of production flows of olive growers and olive oil processors and/or packers. Results show that approximately a quarter of the organic oil production in Catalonia is sold outside the organic sector. In contrast, organic olive oil produced by Catalonian processors and/or packers are obtained largely from olives grown outside Catalonia
