India-Taiwan Agreement Boosts Organic Product Trade

Summary: The India-Taiwan Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) for Organic Products, effective from July 8, 2024, enhances trade in organic products between India and Taiwan, reflecting increasing business cooperation despite the lack of official diplomatic ties. Managed by India’s APEDA and Taiwan’s Agriculture and Food Agency, the agreement allows mutually recognized organic products to be sold in both markets. This MRA boosts market opportunities for organic farmers, enhances the credibility of organic certification, and supports India's leading position in global organic food production. The APEDA plays a key role in facilitating this agreement and supporting India's agricultural export sector.
