In the paper, the analysis of state of certification of organic food in Poland in 2011–2016 was presented. Reports of the Trade Quality Inspection of Agricultural and Food Products (IJHARS) were used as the comparative material. It was noted that despite the growing interest and greater popularity of organic products, the number of organic producers and the area of organic farmland in the analyzed period showed a downward trend. In the certification process of farms and organic food processing plants, there were irregularities resulting both from the direct activity of the producer as well as the work of the inspectors of the certification units.
