Abstract: This paper, based on a primary survey of companies engaged in organic food business in India and the United Kingdom (UK), examines how organic food can attract more investment (domestic and foreign) across the entire food supply chain including manufacturing, farming, distribution and trading if supported by the right policy. It also focuses on how companies in the organic food business are linked to farmers and how this linkage can be strengthened in order to enable farmers to have better access to the domestic and global markets. The paper identifies the issues and business risk that companies face and makes policy recommendations for enabling the holistic growth of this sector.
