Government Initiatives Driving Organic Food Market in India
India has emerged as one of the world’s largest markets for organic food consumption as the country’s government is taking various initiatives to promote the industry. For that, it is encouraging farmers to develop excessive organic agriculture lands and cultivate premium-priced and health-oriented crops in the country. Besides, the government has issued various schemes, such as: National Project on Organic Farming, National Horticulture Mission and Technology Mission for North East, and Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana to support the industry. Apart from all these initiatives, the government has also partially relaxed restrictions on exports of few products produced without using chemical fertilizer and pesticides to promote organic farming.
