Abstract: Abstract Given that transnational movement of organic products is also governed by standards, establishing a foothold in the international market for organic products, India too has to comply with these norms. Exploring the process, this chapter observes that as it is mandatory to get the organic products certified through an appropriate/authorized organic guarantee system before entering the global market, developing these systems has become an essential activity towards an outward-oriented organic sector. With a poor record of standard setting in the domestic organic sector, the potential of setting globally acceptable organic standards remains a difficult proposition.
