(Express File Photo)Union Minister of Home Affairs, and Cooperation, Amit Shah, on Wednesday reviewed the works of the National Cooperative Organic Limited (NCOL). During the meeting, he said that all Primary Agriculture Credit Societies (PACS) in the country should be linked to the organic mission and a campaign should be launched to promote organic products.
“He emphasized that special attention should be given to identify the sources of organic products and to ensure the purity of organic products,” the Cooperation Ministry said in a statement.
According to the statement, Shah said that NCOL should focus on building a strong supply chain of authentic organic products from farmers to customers under its ‘Bharat Organics’ brand.
“He emphasized that NCOL should ensure mandatory testing of each batch of ‘Bharat Organics’ products so that customers have access to pure, authentic organic products in the market. He also mentioned that, to achieve this goal, farmers associated with Amul dairies and NDDB institutions should be encouraged to adopt organic farming,” the statement said.
