Under the 2017 organic regulation, sale of organic produce directly to end-consumer has been allowed only with the certification of the National

Programme for Organic Production (NPOP) and Participatory Guarantee System (PGS) India.

Food Safety and Standards Authority (FSSAI) in an order said the norms were relaxed after it examined several representations regarding challenges faced in the implementation of regulations by organic food business operations, including small original producers.
