Structuring the organic agriculture sector

This operation is designed to provide a better understanding of the market, operational support and solutions to the various organic chain stakeholders.The first link in the operation is support for POS organic certification, which is currently mainly issued through participatory guarantee systems (PGS). Initiatives for group and third-party certification are emerging and should be supported. The operation is designed to propose operational solutions for  certified production to ensure traceability throughout the value chain. Finally the operation is designed to provide operational responses and solutions for developing local production of fourth range organic products, which is a prerequisite to their use in food services.This operation is also designed to propose public support mechanisms that are compatible with the territories’ financial resources. Finally, setting up an organic agriculture monitoring agency will guide the sector’s public and private stakeholders and help them inform the various organic agriculture development programmes and policies.
