APEDA opens new route for organic exports to US, eases import rules for NOP-Certified ingredients.
In a significant policy move aimed at strengthening India’s position in the global organic products trade, the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) has unveiled a new framework permitting the import of USDA National Organic Program (NOP)-certified organic ingredients for processing and value addition in India, exclusively for re-export to the United States. The move addresses a long-standing challenge faced by India’s organic processing industry—access to certified organic raw materials that may not be available domestically in sufficient quantity or quality for export-oriented manufacturing. At the same time, APEDA has sought to ensure that the flexibility does not dilute the integrity of India’s National Programme for Organic Production (NPOP), which remains the country’s primary organic certification framework.
