Commerce Secretary Sunil Barthwal has said that there is a huge potential to increase exports of organic agri products as the global market stood at about $135 billion and India's shipments are only over $700 million. He also said that the industry should also work on improving the quality and standards of these products.
The secretary urged the industry to promote the logo of India organic as it would help in promoting the credibility of the products in the international market. He also said that there is a need to promote Indian standards of these goods and comply with the standards of importing countries. He added that there are several goods which India is producing organically like avocado and passion fruit and there is a need to increase awareness about these domestically-produced products.
He further said Agricultural & Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) should run a campaign about these products which are available in India, and these exports can be further promoted through e-commerce medium and there is a need to establish the credibility of Indian organic goods. He said that soon the commerce ministry would convene a meeting of all the stakeholders of the sector to resolve their issues, if any.
