India Organic Farming Market

India Organic Farming Market Overview:

The India organic farming market size reached USD 5,555.87 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 13,480.41 Million by ​2033​, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 10.40% during ​2025-2033​. The market is moving with amplified demand from consumers for chemical-free vegetables, government actions, and foreign markets, driven by greater certification, policy action, and environmentally friendly agriculture, but being limited by excessive costs of production, inefficiency in supply chains, and inadequate awareness among farmers.

India Organic Farming Market Trends:

Rising Adoption of Bio-Fertilizers and Bio-Pesticides

India organic farming market is increasingly adopting bio-fertilizers and bio-pesticides to enhance soil health and minimize chemical residues in food. Farmers are applying microbial-based fertilizers, compost, and vermicompost to boost soil fertility while substituting synthetic chemicals. Government policies, such as subsidies on bio-inputs and specialized training programs, are driving this transition. For instance, in March 2024, The Indian government initiated National Mission on Natural Farming (NMNF) with the objective to improve soil quality and water holding capacity. This mission aims to promote natural farming practices, minimize the use of chemical fertilizers, and ensure sustainable agriculture practices. Moreover, bio-pesticides from neem, Bacillus thuringiensis, and pheromone traps are becoming popular as effective, environmentally friendly pest control measures. Increasing consumer interest in chemical-free foods is yet further motivating producers to use such inputs. Switching to bio-solutions is also promoting sustainable development goals through the enhancement of soil biodiversity, lowered water pollution, and preserved agricultural productivity levels for the longer term. Enhancements in the schemes of organic certifications and effectiveness tests on bios is reinforcing the business. With growing awareness and policy backing, bio-fertilizers and bio-pesticides are becoming an integral part of India's organic farming culture, promoting healthier crops and eco-friendly farming practices.

Expansion of Organic Farming Clusters

Organic clusters of farming are being encouraged by the Indian government and state agriculture departments to amplify production and provide a regular supply of organic produce. Financial assistance, training, and certification help are being given to clusters of farmers under different schemes. The clusters help small and marginal farmers to join, share facilities, and market their produce together. Organic clusters in states like Sikkim, Uttarakhand, and Madhya Pradesh are gaining advantage through this model, providing improved market linkages and price realization. Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) are instrumental in these clusters, simplifying the supply chain, minimizing input expenses, and assisting in certification compliance. The cluster model also improves traceability, an essential consideration for exports and domestic organic certification. Though this model promotes organic production, the limitations are poor infrastructure and market reach. Filling these gaps through digital platforms and policy interventions can make organic clusters more effective.

Growing Demand for Organic Dairy and Livestock Farming

Organic livestock and dairy farming in India are picking up steam with accelerating demand for chemical-free milk, eggs, and meat from consumers. This is fueled by fear of antibiotic residues and artificial growth promoters employed in traditional livestock farming. Organic dairy farming focuses on natural feed, chemical-free diet, and environmentally friendly animal husbandry. Increased availability of organic-certified feed for livestock and pasture management practices helps this industry boost its growth. Organic poultry rearing is also on the rise, with producers using free-range and antibiotic-free rearing techniques. Demand for organic animal produce is strongest in urban areas, where health-focused consumers seek out hormone-free and ethically sourced products. Despite this, higher organic feed and certification costs remain a hurdle for large-scale use. Strengthening value chains, enhancing certification systems, and raising consumer awareness will be central to large-scale organic dairy and livestock farming in India.
