Certification
According to the research of the company Mordor Intelligence, the global organic fertilizer size is estimated at USD 13.39 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 17.83 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period (2025-2030). This surge is driven by mounting environmental awareness, government incentives for sustainable farming, and the demand for clean-label food products.
Organic Fertilizer Certification Confirms That A Product Meets Established Standards For Natural Composition, Production Processes, And Ecological Safety.
Why is certification so vital?
-
Market Access: Without recognized certification, organic fertilizers cannot legally enter or compete in many regulated markets.
-
Brand Image: Certified products benefit from heightened consumer trust, positioning manufacturers as leaders in sustainability.
-
Investment & Scaling: Certification enables partnerships, investments, and collaborations, unlocking new capital and commercial expansion.
The global organic industry increasingly depends on private, third-party certification organizations to uphold integrity.
Why private certifiers?
-
These certifiers, many of whom operate independent laboratories, conduct stringent tests for contaminants, nutrient consistency, and source authenticity.
-
They offer agility, global networks, and capable of serving multiple markets simultaneously.
-
Their certifications are often accredited by international bodies such as ISO/IEC 17065, ensuring global recognition and harmonization.
Always pay attention to whether the certifying company has all the necessary accreditations.

Documentation and compliance structuring.

Coordination with laboratories for sample testing.

Translation and localization for international submissions.
