The government is hopeful of doubling exports of organic products from India in 2025-26 to $1 billion, compared to the previous fiscal, and is set to announce new guidelines for National Programme for Organic Production (NPOP) and initiatives to increase traceability for ensuring greater credibility in exports, officials said. “The idea is if that if I am selling organic mangoes to Europe then everybody who is buying the mangoes there gets to know where these mangoes come from. The organic products can be tracked back to the fields or the wine yards. That is the idea we are trying to come up with in the NPOP new guidelines together with that traceability portal and the new NPOP portal..,” said Rajesh Agrawal, Additional Secretary, Department of Commerce, at an interaction with the media on Wednesday.
