Voluntary
The national professional association of Polish fruit growers. It was founded in 1999 in Grójec as Związek Sadowników Mazowsza and has had its current name since 2002. It represents fruit growers' professional interests with the government and the authorities, comments on legislation, spreads technical knowledge and promotes fruit consumption. Its local branches (oddziały) are mainly in Masovia; its representatives sit on the 2025–2029 committee of the Fundusz Promocji Owoców i Warzyw (fruit and vegetable promotion fund).
Voluntary. Any natural person with full legal capacity who accepts the association's aims can become a full member; legal persons can only be supporting members. Admission is decided by the local branch board (Zarząd Oddziału) on the basis of a written membership declaration, which can be downloaded from the website and must be sent to the office in Grójec.
The organisation does not publish its membership fee — please ask directly. Under the statutes the entry fee and membership fee are set by the Zarząd Główny; new members pay within 14 days of being notified of admission, and the fee is due by the end of November of each year.
For information only, not legal advice. Mandatory membership is set by local law — each profile lists its source.
