Side-by-side

Compare certifications.

Up to four certifications, side by side. Choose which ones

	Orgánico SAGARPA / SENASICA (Mexico) Mexico · Tier 1 Gold	Demeter International Global · Tier 2 Trusted
What it means	Mexico's national organic mark, administered by SENASICA under the Ley de Productos Orgánicos (LPO).	The certification mark for biodynamic agriculture. Stricter than any government organic standard: it covers the entire farm as a closed ecosystem, follows a planting calendar tied to lunar/solar cycles, and bans many practices the baseline organic rules permit.
Scope	Food	Several categories
Established	2006	1928
Inspection	Annual on-site, SENASICA-accredited	Annual on-site by Demeter-accredited inspectors
Residue testing	Required	Risk-based on top of organic
Guarantees	≥95% organic ingredients per LPO. Annual on-site inspection by SENASICA-accredited certifier.	All organic standards PLUS biodynamic preparations and whole-farm planning. Whole-farm certification (not single fields/products). Annual on-site inspection by Demeter-accredited inspectors. Animal welfare standards stricter than baseline organic.
Does NOT	USDA equivalence is granted product-by-product, not blanket.	Biodynamic philosophy includes esoteric elements (lunar planting, herbal preparations) that many scientists view as non-evidence-based — the agronomic outcomes are still good, the underlying claims about cosmic forces are not testable.
