Use official sources to verify standards, approved certification routes and current programme information before making compliance or scheme decisions.
Suggested starting points
- APEDA’s NPOP portal for national programme documents and certification information.
- The relevant state agriculture or horticulture department for local schemes and current notices.
- Krishi Vigyan Kendra and agricultural university extension resources for region-specific production advice.
- The competent authority or accredited certification body for legal claims, labelling and logo permissions.
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.
