National Programme for Organic Production (NPOP) certification

NPOP certification is a system of process certification wherein an independent organization reviews entire production, processing, handling, storage and transport etc to ensure the compliance of organic standards. The process typically includes comprehensive review of cultivation practices including land management, usage of inputs, use of machinery, pest management and post harvest in crops, rearing practices compatible to their natural behaviour, welfare of animals, avoidance of synthetic feed additives and hormones and limited usage of allopathic drugs and antibiotics in animal products and processing and handling through document review and on-site physical inspection. All such certified products bear the certification mark on their packaging to help consumers and other buyers make educated purchasing decisions.
