	India Organic (NPOP) India · Tier 1 Gold	Rainforest Alliance Global · Tier 3 Specialty
What it means	India's national organic mark under the National Programme for Organic Production. Administered by APEDA; required on any food exported as organic and increasingly on domestic packaging.	Sustainable-agriculture certification (post-2020 merged standard with UTZ). Covers environmental, social, and economic criteria. NOT an organic mark.
Scope	Food	Food
Established	2001	1987
Inspection	Annual on-site by APEDA-accredited certifier	Annual third-party audit (RA-accredited)
Residue testing	Required for export shipments	Risk-based
Guarantees	≥95% organic ingredients. No synthetic pesticides, no GMOs. Annual third-party certification.	Reduced (not eliminated) synthetic pesticide use, with bans on the most hazardous classes. Forest conservation requirements (no deforestation after the cut-off date). Worker welfare and community development requirements. Annual third-party audit.
Does NOT	Domestic-only sales can also use FSSAI's 'Jaivik Bharat' mark — if you see only 'Jaivik Bharat' without 'India Organic', the supply chain may be PGS-India rather than NPOP-accredited.	Allows synthetic pesticides — does NOT meet any organic standard. Often confused with organic but it's a different programme.
