Individual Farm Certification
Individual farm certification is a unique concept of organic certification. A farm can certify under NPOP (National Organic Standards), EC (European Standards), NOP (US Standards) and JAS (Japanese Standards). Minimum documentation makes the certification process easier, and it is cost-effective as only one day required for the third party inspection. Individual farm certification is beneficial for horticulture crops like Mango, Pomegranate, Orange, Litchi, Strawberry, Grape, etc.
