Strategic Importance and 

Growth of Organic Agriculture 

In view of increasing consumption of fertilizers and pesticides, and 

deteriorating soil productivity and soil health, the concept of organic 

farming is gaining growing importance world over, in order to develop 

sustainable and eco-friendly agricultural production systems. As per the 

definition of FAO “Organic agriculture is a unique production management 

system which promotes and enhances agro-ecosystem health, including 

biodiversity, biological cycles and soil biological activity, and this is 

accomplished by using on-farm agronomic, biological and mechanical 

methods in exclusion of all synthetic off-farm inputs”. 

The demand for organic food is growing exponentially and is estimated to 

be worth 46.1 billion US dollar during 2007 with annual growth rate of 

about 20-35%. It is likely to cross 50 billion US$ in 2008. USA is the 

biggest market for organic food followed by Europe & Japan. More than 

141 countries currently produce certified organic produce on 32.2 million 

ha. In India, organic agriculture has grown significantly during last 5 years 

owing to combined effect of farmer’s efforts, NGOs work, Government 

interventions and market forces. From less than 42,000 ha in 2003-04, the 

area under certified organic farming has grown to 12.07 lakh ha in 2008- 

09. 

As per a survey conducted by a Bangalore based NGO, “International 

Competence Centre for Organic Agriculture (ICCOA)”, there is domestic 

market worth Rs. 562 crore in top 8 metro cities and more than 1,452 crore 

in the country. In next 10 years, the domestic market for certified organic 

products is likely to cross Rs. 3,200 crore. Various estimates indicate that 

organic products can take about 5-6% of the overall food and grocery 

market in medium to long term. This could translate into a market of about 

Rs. 50,000 to 60,000 crore if suitable policy support is provided and 

farmers are supported for smooth conversion to organic. Export of organic 

commodities has increased five-fold from Rs. 95 crore during 2004-05 to 

Rs. 591 crore during 2008-09. Many states have defined and adopted 

organic policies. Some of the States like Mizoram, Sikkim, Nagaland and 

Uttarakhand have enacted the laws and declared their intention to go 

100% organic. 

National Project on Organic Farming 1 Annual Report 2008-2009


National Project on Organic Farming 

Background: 

The Department of Agriculture and Cooperation, Ministry of Agriculture has launched a 

Central Sector Scheme entitled “National Project on Organic Farming” during 10 th 

Plan on Pilot basis by subsuming National Project on Development & Use of 

Biofertilizers w.e.f October, 2004 with an out lay of Rs. 57.05 crores. The scheme is 

continuing as full fledged project in XIth Plan with an provisional allocation of Rs. 115 

crores. The National Project on Organic Farming has following broad objectives- 

Objectives 

Capacity building through service providers 

Financial support to different production units engaged in production of 

Biofertilizers, fruit and vegetable waste compost and vermin hatcheries cum 

compost etc. 

Human Resource Development through training on Certification & inspection, 

Production and quality control of organic inputs, Organic management, organic 

cultivation systems etc. 

Field demonstrations on organic inputs and management. 

Development of model organic farm. 

Market development for organic products. 

Development of domestic standards and regulatory mechanism. 

Support to new initiatives on technology related to organic farming. 

Creation of Awareness. 

Operational structure 

National Project on Organic Farming is being operated by the Integrated Nutrient 

Management Division of Department of Agriculture and Cooperation, Govt of India, and is 

headed by Joint Secretary (INM). The project objectives are being implemented and 

monitored through National Centre of Organic Farming (NCOF) at Ghaziabad as Head 

quarter with its six Regional Centers of Organic Farming (RCOF) located at Bangalore, 

Bhubaneshwar, Hisar, Imphal, Jabalpur and Nagpur. 

Operational guidelines 

Approved components are being implemented through National and Regional Centers of 

Organic Farming, through various State Govt Departments and agencies and through 

various Non-Government Agencies (NGOs). Details of operational methodologies for 

different components are as follows: 

1. Capacity building through Service providers – Govt and Non-Government agencies, 

capable of forming farmer groups and well versed with certification system and internal 

control system management are being provided funds to convert 1500 farmers (per 

group) to organic, provide necessary technical support for optimum productivity and 

facilitate certification through Grower Group Certification process. 

2. Financial support to input production units – Financial support restricted to 25% of 

total financial outlay is being provided for the establishment of (i) Fruits and Vegetable 

market waste compost, (ii) Biofertilizers and biopesticides and (iii) Vermiculture 

hatcheries. Non-Government agencies, companies, entrepreneurs and individuals can 

avail the facility through credit linked back ended subsidy scheme. Loan can be availed 

from any scheduled bank and subsidy is reimbursed by NABARD or NCDC. 

Government and Semi Government bodies (including municipalities) can avail the 

subsidy directly by application to Department of Agriculture and Cooperation. Maximum 



ceiling of financial assistance is Rs. 40 lakh, Rs. 20 lakh and Rs. 1.5 lakh for Market 

waste compost, biofertilizers and vermiculture hatcheries respectively. 

3. Training – Four different types of trainings, with different course contents are being 

arranged under NPOF through NCOF, RCOF and various Govt and Non-Govt 

agencies. These are: (i) Training for Inspection and Certification agencies and Service 

providers, (ii) Training on production and Quality Control of organic inputs, (iii) Training 

for field functionaries and Extension officers on organic management and (iv)Training

Summary of Achievements 

(2008-2009) 

1. Expenditure - Against a BE of Rs. 30.00 crores and Revised estimates of 34.05 

crores, the actual expenditure was 16.4526 crores. 

Shortfall in expenditure was due to non-sanction of fresh proposals of State 

Governments and Government Agencies due to non-submission of UCs and physical 

reports for earlier release and pending unspent balances. Fresh proposals for NGOs 

were not considered and subsequent installments of service providers were stalled 

pending Review process by DAC. 

2. Implementation of project components through NCOF/RCOFs, various state 

Governments and other implementing agencies (No of units sanctioned against
