Abstract: The article is presenting results of analysis realized within the research programme at the Faculty of Agriculture of JU MSM6007665806 focused on bioproduction in the mountains and on the foothills in South Bohemia (ecological system of farming). It deals both with breeding itself and with subsequent sales, processing into final bio-production included. Results of the research are as follows: In this area the ecological farmers focus especially on livestock production with a significant part of beef-raising, particularly without milk production. In plant growing the production of bulk feed and potatoes is dominant. 82 % of eco-farmers sell their production, most of them consider the sales possibilities to be negative. A big problem represents the remarkable lack of bio-food producers within the whole region of South Bohemia, especially in the micro-region of Šumava, where whatever bio-products processor is missing. The farmers are thus forced to sell their ecological products to conventional processors. A great deal of ecological production loses its "bio-value" in this way. The most important problem is the sale of ecological meat production. In paradox, most of cattle raised on ecological grasslands are processed is conventional slaughter-houses. Next development of ecological production is expected in the future. It's important to coordinate the supply of production of ecological agriculture and the bio-products demand. The demand will grow up. It is the global consumer trend. So it is necessary to solve the weakest point of ecological production - the processing activities and the suitable distribution ways.
