'''India Organic''' is a [[Organic certification|certification mark for organically farmed food]] products manufactured in India.<ref>[http://www.indianspices.com/html/np_organiccert.htm Spices Board of India. 'Organic certification mark'.] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120802024444/http://www.indianspices.com/html/np_organiccert.htm |date=August 2, 2012 }}</ref> The [[certification mark]] certifies that an [[organic food]] product conforms to the National Standards for Organic Products<ref>[http://apeda.gov.in/apedawebsite/organic/ORGANIC_CONTENTS/National_Programme_for_Organic_Production.htm APEDA. 'National Standards for Organic Products.']</ref> established in 2000.<br />
<br />
Those standards ensures that the product or the raw materials used in the product were grown through [[organic farming]], without the use of chemical [[fertilizer]]s, [[pesticide]]s, or induced hormones. The certification is issued by testing centres accredited by the [[Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority|Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA)]]<ref>[http://www.apeda.gov.in/apedawebsite/organic/Organic_Products.htm Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority.

<br />
Even though the standards are in effect since 2000, the certification scheme and hence the certification mark came into existence in 2002.<ref name="ecoworld" /><br />

==Jaivik Bharat==<br />
Just like green & red dots on products to signify if they are vegetarian or non-vegetarian, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) in December 2017, introduced the Jaivik Bharat logo to help customers identify authentic organic food.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.prakati.in/jaivik-bharat-indias-organic-product-consumer-label/ |title=Jaivik Bharat: India’s Organic Product Consumer Label}}</ref><br />
<br />
Food safety regulator [[FSSAI]] has permitted small organic producers, having an annual turnover of over Rs 12 lakh, to sell their produce directly to end consumers without certification till April 2020, but can not use 'Jaivik Bharat logo' on their products.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.businesstoday.in/current/economy-politics/sell-organic-produce-without-certification-till-2020-do-not-use-jaivik-bharat-logo-fssai-tells-farmers/story/348313.html |title=Sell organic produce without certification till 2020, don't use 'Jaivik Bharat logo': FSSAI tells farmers}}</ref><br />
Organizations are encouraging government to promote the [[Jaivik Bharat]] logo and certification process to make [[organic food]] more trustworthy and easy to recognize in [[India]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.outlookindia.com/newsscroll/govt-should-promote-use-of-jaivik-bharat-logo-to-push-organic-food-industry/1628122 |title=''Govt should promote use of Jaivik Bharat logo to push organic food industry''}}</ref><br />
