The government on Tuesday said India’s export of organic products jumped 35 per cent to $665.96 million (about ₹5,710 crore) during the 2024-25 fiscal from $494.80 million in the previous year due to a surge mainly in shipments of cereals, tea, spices, medicinal plants, oilseeds and processed foods. In volume terms, the growth was 41 per cent at 0.37 million tonnes (mt) from 0.26 mt.
Though the government said that the upward trend shows rising global demand for Indian organic products, experts said that there is a lot of steps needed to re-build the brand ‘Organic India’ amid questions raised over credibility of certifying agencies.
