Organic food has gained a serious place in the food market as the demand for organic food increases day by day. Changing consumer demands have increased interest in organic food in the retail industry. This change has also brought about a change in production habits in the agricultural sector.

Over the years, countries have started to establish their own unique organic product standards and demand them from producers. Thus, the journey of organic products across continents started, making it compulsory for the major players in the organic food sector to produce products in the highest standards. This change in standards has renewed the stages of organic agriculture layer by layer, from seed to fertilizer, from agricultural pest control to the protection conditions of the products.
