INDOCERT, India’s first indigenous certification body, is thrilled to announce that the National Accreditation Body (NAB) has decided to lift the sanctions previously imposed on the registration of new processors and traders for the National Programme for Organic Production (NPOP) certification. This decision marks a positive shift, allowing a wider range of operators to engage in the organic certification process under INDOCERT. The sanctions, which had restricted new registrations for these categories, were imposed by the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) as part of compliance oversight. With the removal of these restrictions, INDOCERT is now ready to welcome both new and existing operators to register for NPOP certification. This move is seen as a major boost for businesses involved in organic processing and trade, as they can now streamline their certification needs under INDOCERT’s expertise.
INDOCERT, accredited by NAB and internationally by IOAS, offers a robust certification process for various sectors, including food, feed, and wild collection under the NPOP. The organization has long been recognized for its commitment to high standards, professionalism, and transparency, both nationally and internationally. INDOCERT’s services are tailored to meet global organic standards, providing certifications that are compliant with the Swiss Organic Farming Ordinance and recognized by Bio Suisse, among others. The easing of this sanction will further strengthen India’s organic production sector, as more operators can now benefit from INDOCERT’s comprehensive certification services, which cover all aspects of organic farming, processing, and trading. This milestone also aligns with the organization’s mission to support sustainable and eco-friendly agricultural practices, fostering growth in the organic industry.
