- (c) & (d): The total value of organic products exported from India is Rs 5150.99 crore ( for 614089.614 MT). The country-wise details are given at Annexure - II.
- (e) & (f): Government of India has been promoting Organic farming in the country through dedicated  schemes  namely  Paramparagat  Krishi  Vikas  Yojana  (PKVY)  and  Mission  Organic Value  Chain  Development  North  Eastern  Region  (MOVCDNER)  since  2015-16.  Both  the schemes aim at promotion  of cluster/ Farmers Producer  Organization (FPO)  based chemical free, low input cost sustainable organic farming and support farmers from input procurement to market linkages.

Assistance of Rs 50,000 per hectare/ 3 years is     provided, out of which Rs. 31,000 (62%)  is  directly  given  to  the  farmers  through  DBT  for  inputs  (bio-fertilizers,  biopesticides, vermicompost, botanical extracts etc) production/ procurement, post harvest management etc in PKVY scheme. Farmers   adopt   low cost Participatory Guarantee System (PGS) of certification for domestic markets.

Assistance of Rs 25000/ ha/ 3 years to farmers  is provided for both on-farm & off-farm organic  inputs,  and  seeds/  planting  material  in  MOVCDNER  and  third  party  certified  organic farming is encouraged   for export of niche crops.

Organic  Farming  has  also  been  supported  under  other  schemes  viz  Rashtriya  Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) and Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH), Network Project on Organic Farming under ICAR.

The major thrust of the Government has shifted from production centric to market linked production so that farmers can get better returns for their produce including organic produce. To further boost production of organic produce, a dedicated web portal -Jaivikkheti.inhas  also been created to connect farmers involved in organic farming with consumers directly for better prices.
