The Government is  implementing  several  measures  to  boost  exports  of  organic  food products from India, including the Southern States. The National Programme for Organic Production (NPOP) has been revised to its 8th edition and implemented from July 2025, enhancing  credibility,  transparency  and  farmer-friendly  features.  To  facilitate  trade, Mutual Recognition Arrangements are being pursued with key partners, with the MRA with Taiwan operational since 2024 and the MRA with Australia implemented from 24 th September  2025.  Export  promotion  efforts  have  been  strengthened  through  India's designation as Partner Country for Biofach 2026 and participation in major global events such as Natural Products Expo West, USA, and Biofach India. Extensive outreach and training  programmes  on  NPOP  and  market  opportunities  have  also  been  conducted nationwide to build stakeholder capacity.
