Indigenous seed :- No use of hybrid & GM crop seeds3. Indigenous livestock :- Indigenous cow providing organic inputs for
crop nutrient & pest management.4. Mixed cropping pattern :- Ensures compensation in losses due to natural
factors.:- Meets demand of variety of food required by
farmer’s family.:- Helps for crop nourishment & pest

Common Problems in Organic Certification
• Consumers want proof of organic status• 3rd party Certification
- Too expensive in direct costs- Too complicated (paperwork)- Unsustainable- By design an exclusive marketing label only.- Facilitates non-diversified large farm certification.
• Organic movement is being stifled by 3rd Party Certification (less than 0.05 % certified !)
• Farmers & Consumers are looking for an alternative certificationsystem.

(IFOAM).

• Low Direct Cost. Affordable to families that may have low cash sales.
• Minimal paperwork
• Appropriate for small farmers
• Regionally appropriate Standards
• Peer inspections
• Village, Regional & National groups in a horizontal Network without hierarchies
• Build the Organic Movement, rather than just provide an expensive marketing label.

• Mutual Recognition & support between regional PGS groups in India. There are already individual local labels being created independently, but a single strongly supported national label will do much more for the movement as a whole. There is strength in numbers & more credibility to the program as a whole is created
• Inclusive of New & Transitioning Organic Farmers
• Subtext of support & training built into the system
• Empower the Small Farmer with skills & market power.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQFrequently Asked Questions (FAQ’’s)s)
• The Difference Between PGS and 3rd Party Certification
- Paperwork
- Regionally appropriate (and small farmers appropriate Standards allow more farmers to Participate, increasing the organic base in the country.
- PGS is inclusive of new/ transitioning Organic Farmers
- Involvement of Consumers is encouraged
- 3rd Party Certification has proven to be too easy to defraud because it’s based on paperwork and an antagonistic relationship (think of income taxes) rather than join social control and peer support.

• Why not dictate that outsiders be included in “Peer Inspections” (Priest members from another village, local Panchayat. Ag-Technicians. etc)
• How big is a Regional Group what areas is covered. Who can form a Regional Group. Who must be included. Shouldn’t we specify these things?
• Who can you expect village farmers to exclude each other from local group? (secret ballot. Social control example of two strikes. Out for a year)
• Aren’t 3rd Party Certification Agencies going to fight this Does PGS Complete with 3rd Party Certification?
• How do you keep distributors and processors from cheating ? ( Can you ever do this? Ecocert Suggestions)
• From a farmer This is a lot of work . I’d rather just pay my 100 rupees to the ICS and be done with it How is this better?
• From Farmers is there a buyer for my PGS Certified Organic Find me one first
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQFrequently Asked Questions (FAQ’’s)s)
PDF created with pdfFactory trial version www.pdffactory.com
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQFrequently Asked Questions (FAQ’’s)s)• Difference Between ICS and PGS
- In India, only the crop is certified. Certified Organic cotton farmers in Maharashtraare now seeking 2nd organic certification for Wheat …. PGS Certifies the whole farm
- ICS requires a common point of sale. There is no freedom for farmers to explore other markets or to self certified organic Products in other markets.
- Farmers basically becomes an indentured laborer-farmer can be taken advantage of (MH example again)
- Farmer not in control of Standards and regulation. Results in less farmers being certified
- Farmers not in control of costs (increasing with greater monitoring and in GAO. Pesticide residues BELOW acceptable Organic standards were found in a UK grocery store (could even have been in the packing ) but ICS GROUP is now required to pay for regular testing)
Contd…
PDF created with pdfFactory trial version www.pdffactory.com
- ICS doesn’t work because it starts with an antagonistic “Prove it” relationship
between farmer and the monitors, Farmers end up helping each other cheat after
even one suffers being reported on by an outside monitor.
- No empowerment / Capacity Building of farmers
- Confidentiality more important than Transparency
- Huge Amount of Paperwork required assistance from NGO is not sustainable
- ICS (like 3rd Party labeling) is just a marketing tool. PGS requires more capacity &
involvement from farmers but it builds a MOVEMENT

Marketing Marketing
Who is going to buy PGS OrganicWho is going to buy PGS Organic
• Local Direct Markets (Street Markets, Wheat festival)
• Food World, Shop Rite (Can only get export rejects, Poor quality & high Premiums)
• Local Organic-only Shops are increasing (Raj Shekhar Reddy 5 )
• International Opportunities (Brazilian Example)
• Domestic Processing Opportunities
• ITC Kiosk project with high degree of traceability in – built
• Numerous domestic marketing Opportunities (Women’s empowerment groups can form cooperatives to self Farmer’s excess crops- Dhamapuri / Madhuri)
• Chetna Organic’s cotton interest
• Also, why ask when you already have such good infrastructure to overlay right now with minimal hassle
• “Build it and they will come”
