Intro

Organic farming is an agricultural method that aims to produce food for human consumption and feed relying only on natural substances and processes. This way, organic farming has a limited environmental impact, by encouraging:

·         the responsible use of energy and natural resources

·         the maintenance of biodiversity

·         preservation of regional ecological balances

·         enhancement of soil fertility

·         maintenance of water quality

European Union (EU) Regulations and other National and International Standards on organic farming are designed to provide a clear structure for the production of organic agricultural products. This is to satisfy consumer demand for trustworthy organic products whilst providing a fair marketplace for producers, distributors and marketers.

EGYCERT has developed its private system of controls for organic products, in equivalence with the requirements laid down in European Union Regulations (EC) 834/2007 & 889/2008. EGYCERT Production Standard and Control Measures is available upon request to any operator interested in submitting his undertaking to EGYCERT Control System.
