India: India's Organic Agriculture Sector Finds Markets At Home and Abroad
FAS New Delhi projects India’s organic agriculture sector to be valued at $2.5 billion for the 2023/24 Marketing Year (MY). According to various sources, the domestic consumption of organic foods is trending upwards as the Indian consumer focus on health and wellness continues. However, challenges within India's organic certification process pose a threat to the credibility of the organic sector and its exports. To export to the United States, organic operations in India need to be certified by an USDA-accredited organic certifier. Currently there only eleven such operations in India. More generally, addressing the quality and certification challenges are crucial to maintaining the trust of consumers and international markets. By establishing dedicated platforms, enhancing testing and certification services, expanding product offerings, and supporting farmers through various initiatives, the government of India is laying the foundation for an export-oriented and sustainable organic ecosystem in the country.
