The study on organic farming in India examines its current status, growth trends, and export potential amid rising consumer demand and government support. From 2012–13 to 2020–21, certified organic farming areas in India expanded from 5 lakh to 26.6 lakh hectares, growing at a robust CAGR of 20.7%. Madhya Pradesh leads in organic farming, followed by Maharashtra and Rajasthan, significantly boosting India’s organic output. Export performance has been impressive, with volumes surging from 1.6 lakh MT to 8.9 lakh MT over the same period, driven by processed foods which increased from 19,285 MT to 5.3 lakh MT. However, challenges like maintaining quality standards and effective pest management persist. The study underscores the crucial role of state governments in enhancing farmer awareness and training to meet international standards. It identifies the North-eastern region as a promising area for organic farming due to conducive conditions and low input requirements. Strategic interventions are recommended, including increased R&D investment tailored to Indian crops and establishing robust market channels that support fair prices and sustainable practices. In conclusion, while India has made strides in organic farming and exports, sustained efforts in policy frameworks, research, and market development are essential for long-term agricultural sustainability. The study advocates for gradual transition and targeted investments to consolidate India’s position as a global leader in organic agriculture, promoting both soil health and public well-being.
