India’s Organic Food Exports Rise by 35%, Expected to Cross $665 Million in FY25

India’s organic food exports have grown by 35% and are likely to cross $665 million in the financial year 2024–25. This sharp increase shows the rising global demand for Indian organic products and the country’s growing strength in the organic farming sector.

Officials from the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) shared the update recently. They said that countries like the United States, the European Union, Canada, and Australia have increased their imports of organic food from India. Products such as organic rice, pulses, spices, tea, and oilseeds are among the top items being exported.

In the last financial year, India exported organic food worth around $490 million. With a 35% growth, this number is expected to rise above $665 million in FY25. Experts believe the increase comes from better farming practices, improved quality checks, and strong marketing of organic products in international markets.

The government has also helped by supporting organic farmers through training programs, certification processes, and easier export policies. These efforts have encouraged more farmers to switch to organic farming. As a result, India now has one of the largest numbers of organic producers in the world.

An official from APEDA said, “We have worked hard to promote organic farming and help farmers connect with global buyers. This growth in exports is a result of teamwork between the government, farmers, and exporters.”

Organic food is grown without using synthetic chemicals, fertilizers, or pesticides. Many people across the world prefer it because they believe it is safer, healthier, and better for the environment.

India plans to further boost organic exports by expanding to new markets in Asia and the Middle East. The government is also focusing on increasing production and supporting more small-scale farmers.

With strong global demand and steady support from the government, India’s organic food industry is expected to keep growing. Experts say this growth will benefit both the country’s economy and its farmers in the long run.
