POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VALUE
ADDITION IN ORGANIC AGRICULTURE
´ Encourage institutions to conduct R&D on product
development on organic products.
´ Assistance to farmers / companies during conversion
period from conventional to organic systems.´ Provide equal or grater subsidies for organic farming (
Why only chemical fertilizer subsidy?)
´ Devise cost effective certification systems that can be
utilised by a grater number of farmers.´ Introduce domestic legislation for the use of the term
´organicµ. A better domestic mar et will open more
avenues for export.
