International Fresh Produce Association gives organic feedback

The International Fresh Produce Association says it emphasized the need for practical, science-based standards that support organic production while ensuring supply chain viability in remarks submitted for the National Organic Standards Board’s spring 2025 work agenda. The comments were developed in consultation with the association’s organics committee.

“Organic growers face unique challenges that require flexible, regionally aware, and evidence-based certification standards,” IFPA Director of Production and Environmental Policy Sara L. Neagu-Reed said in a news release.

“Our recommendations to the NOSB are designed to help safeguard organic integrity while ensuring that growers have practical tools and fair, consistent oversight that reflects the realities of organic farming today,” she continued. “IFPA thanks the NOSB for its work in advancing organic standards and looks forward to continued collaboration to support a transparent, science-based, and practical regulatory environment for organic produce.”
