Organic certifications: Organic, fair and regional

The market for organic fruit and vegetables is growing most strongly worldwide: Fruchthandel online reports that the fruit and vegetable segment leads the global ranking of organic foods with an average growth of 9% per year until 2024. The increasing urbanisation and a growing concern for health and the environment are essential factors for the positive development. However, the supply of organic fruit and vegetables is still limited in relation to its demand.

If you want to join this trend, there are numerous sustainability labels available that make the profile of your products visible and interesting for consumers and retailers. Organic certification by an independent organic control body is mandatory for organic food producers to obtain the EU organic label. In addition, you can have your products certified according to the guidelines of organic associations (such as Naturland, Bioland, BioSuisse, Demeter). Further quality labels guarantee regional certificates of origin (such as Bio-Zeichen Baden-Württemberg, Bio-Siegel Bayern or Gutes vom See), quality standards for food production (such as GLOBALG.A.P) and fair trade and sustainability standards (such as Fair for Life, Rainforest Alliance).
