Growing Demand of Organic Products

The Growing Demand for Organic Agricultural Exports

The global appetite for organic products is rising rapidly, and India is well-positioned to meet this demand. Indian farmers and exporters are increasingly embracing organic cultivation to cater to health-conscious consumers across Europe, North America, and Asia.

Organic agriculture focuses on sustainability, soil health, and eliminating harmful chemicals. With over 4 million hectares under organic cultivation, India ranks among the top countries in terms of organic farming land.

Certifications such as NPOP (National Programme for Organic Production) and USDA Organic are essential for exporters targeting foreign markets. These certifications build trust with international buyers and ensure compliance with food safety regulations.

Markets like Germany, the UAE, and the USA are experiencing year-on-year growth in organic imports. Indian exporters offering certified, eco-friendly produce can take advantage of premium pricing and long-term contracts.

However, meeting organic standards requires investment in training, documentation, and monitoring. Exporters must work closely with certified farms, maintain traceability, and ensure timely audits.

Support from APEDA and financial incentives from the Indian government further ease the process for organic exporters.

With rising consumer awareness and policy support, organic agriculture is not just a trend but the future of sustainable exports.
