Organic certification for farms, processors and exporters.
Get certified under NPOP for exports, PGS-India or NPOP for the domestic Jaivik Bharat label, and USDA NOP or EU-recognised certification for those markets. We prepare your organic system plan, records and traceability, and coordinate inspection with an accredited body.
What organic certification covers
Production
Farming without prohibited inputs, with conversion periods and buffer zones.
Processing & Handling
Segregation, traceability and approved inputs through processing and packing.
Traceability
Records and Transaction Certificates that track each lot to its source.
