What is NPOP Certification in India?
NPOP organic certification is India’s official organic scheme under APEDA. We help farms, processors and exporters build an APEDA-ready dossier—SOPs, records, supplier declarations and tests—map evidence to NPOP criteria, support inspections and respond to NCRs so approvals close faster and labels stay compliant.
At Fusion Certification, we provide end-to-end assistance for obtaining NPOP Organic Certification, ensuring your farm or business meets India’s organic standards. Whether you’re an organic farmer, food processor, or exporter, our certification experts will help you meet the compliance benchmarks outlined by NPOP guidelines.
