FAQ :

India's organic food exports increased by 51% in value, reaching USD 1040 million, and by 39% in quantity, reaching 888,179 metric tonnes during the financial year 2020-21.

The export of organic products faced logistical and operational challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Major organic export commodities include oil cake meal, oil seeds, fruit pulps and purees, cereals & millets, spices & condiments, tea, medicinal plant products, dry fruits, sugar, pulses, coffee, and essential oils.

India exports organic products to 58 countries, including the USA, European Union, Canada, Great Britain, Australia, Switzerland, Israel, and South Korea.

The NPOP is a set of standards and requirements that organic products must meet for production, processing, packing, and labelling to be exported from India. It has been implemented by APEDA since 2001.

The European Union and Switzerland recognise India's NPOP certification, allowing for the export of unprocessed plant products without additional certification. This equivalency also facilitates exports to the United Kingdom post-Brexit.
