The CCEA has also given its approval for removal of all quantitative ceilings on individual organic products and allowed unrestricted exports of all organic agricultural and organic processed products. <br/><br/>However, in respect of organic pulses and lentils, in view of their acute shortage in the country, the quantitative ceiling on exports will continue, but enhanced from the existing 10 thousand tonnes per annum to 50 thousand tonnes. <br/><br/>This is expected to contribute to the Government's objective of doubling the farmers' income. It will lead to reduction in input costs in farming and gaining premium price for organic agriculture products. It will also result in increased adoption of organic agriculture by farmers.<br/>'<br/>Organic agriculture is a holistic production management system wherein the products are grown in accordance with principles of sustainability. Government is supporting the farmers and exporters to tap huge opportunity that exists within the country and abroad for organic agriculture products.
