Organic marketing works best when the product, buyer requirements, expected volume and certification status are clear before planting or processing decisions are made.
Market planning
- Identify buyers, required grades, packaging, delivery windows and traceability needs.
- Calculate input, labour, certification, handling, storage and transport costs before setting prices.
- Use organic claims and logos only when the applicable legal and certification conditions are met.
- Consider farmer groups, aggregators, FPOs and local direct channels where they fit the volume and quality profile.
Important: Local production, animal-health, certification and scheme requirements vary. Confirm details with the competent state authority or a qualified local adviser before spending or applying inputs.
