Materials and methods

This study is based on secondary data sources like numerous reports, journals, APEDA (Agricultural Processed Food Products & Export Development Authority), PGS India Web Portal, NCOF annual reports, FiBL Statistics etc.

Results

The data shows that Oceania has the most significant land area proportion, followed by North America and Europe. Australia leads the world in total organic agricultural land, followed by India and Argentina, and India ranks first in the world in terms of total number of organic producers, followed by Uganda and Thailand.

Conclusions

In India, the number of organic producers and the area under organic farming have boosted at a compound annual rate of 13.5% and 12%, respectively. The results show India grows organic products and exports them outside the country.
