The programme to expand organic farming in India will be funded by public and private cash and will see the Indian government set up organic food zones, equipped with modern agro-infrastructure facilities.
“There is a plan to develop organic farming in India with investments going up to EUR100m (US$149m) in 23 states with partial support from the government,” said Subodh Kant Sahai, minister for India’s food processing industries.
India has been implementing a national programme for organic production (NPOP) since 2001 in a bid to establish a credible quality assurance system.
“India was able to meet the EU, Swiss and the US requirements of product standards and certification,” Sahai added.
