Unprocessed Plants and Plant Products (including seeds and other propagation materials)

Unprocessed organic plant-based products are those that reach us in their most natural state, straight from the farm to the table. These products—such as fresh fruits and vegetables, grains, and legumes—are grown in accordance with organic farming standards without undergoing any chemical processing. Thanks to organic farming methods, both the soil is protected and healthy products are produced.

Scope:

This category includes a wide range of products, from fresh fruits and vegetables to legumes and oilseeds. All these products are grown using entirely natural methods, without the use of chemicals during agricultural activities.

Who Needs It:

The Unprocessed Organic Plant Product Certificate is required for farmers engaged in organic farming. Anyone wishing to enter the European Union’s organic product market must comply with these standards.
