Summary

Local oil mills, processing organic oilseeds solely, suffer competitive disad¬vantages by lower workloads due to low organic yields. Organic rapeseed oil as sub¬stitute for diesel fuel is not economically justifiable due to its high production costs and opportu-nity costs in the food market. Only organic sunflower oil or oil of false flax (Camelina sativa) grown in mixed cropping systems have produc¬tion costs comparable to con-ventional rapeseed oil. An ecobalance showed that false flax oil from mixed cropping systems as substitute for diesel has clear ecological advantages compared to oil from single cropped oilseeds. But the use of false flax as fuel in engines is still not proofed in science and technology.
