Organic certifiers are responsible for making sure that organic products meet all organic standards. There are five basic steps to organic certification:
- The farm or business adopts organic practices, selects an accredited certifying agent, and submits an application and fees to the certifying agent. (Which is OCCP in Philippines)
- The certifying agent reviews the application to verify that practices comply with OCCP organic regulations.
- An inspector conducts an on-site inspection of the applicant’s operation.
- The certifying agent reviews the application and the inspector’s report to determine if the applicant complies with the organic regulations.
- The certifying agent issues organic certificate.
To maintain organic certification, our certified organic farm will go through an annual review and inspection process.
