Certifications

What we can prove.

For organic fruit, the certificate is the product: it is the reason a buyer pays above the market rate, and the first thing a serious buyer checks. Here is what the farm holds, and how to get the documents.

The claim, and what stands behind it

Go Grow Organic is certified organic under the NPOP Indian Organic standards, which is what the India Organic mark on this page identifies, and it holds FSSAI food safety registration. The growing uses bio fertilisers and bio pesticides rather than chemical inputs, and the practice is recorded per block rather than per season, which is what an organic audit asks to see.

That is the whole claim. It is a specific claim about one farm at Tapi, Gujarat, and it is the one a trade buyer should test first.

The record

Organic certification: NPOP Indian Organic standards, the India Organic mark
Food safety: FSSAI registration
Grown at: Tapi, Gujarat
Practice: Bio fertilisers and bio pesticides, recorded per block
Cut at: Maturity, not a calendar date
Documents: Certificate copies, with issuing body and validity dates, sent on request
Not published: No certificate number appears here, because none has been given to us to publish

Ask and the current certificates come back to you with the issuing body and the validity dates on them, so the claim can be checked rather than taken on trust.

The two marks, and what each one means

Both are published by the farm on its own certification page. They are not the same kind of thing, and it is worth knowing which is which before you buy: one is the organic certification, the other is the food safety registration that every food business in India has to hold.

For trade buyers

Importers and grocers shortlisting a grower usually need the same documents, plus the season window, the pack format and the cold-chain arrangement. Tell us the destination and we will send the set that applies to it.
