PGS is a process of certifying organic products, which ensures that their production takes place in accordance with laid-down quality standards.

The certification is in the form of a documented logo or a statement.

It is implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare.

It is only for farmers or communities that can organise and perform as a group within a village or a cluster of contiguous villages, and is applicable only to farm activities such as crop production, processing, and livestock rearing, and off-farm processing “by PGS farmers of their direct products”.
