How do I sell my crops during the conversion period?
During the first 12 months of the conversion period, all crops must be sold as non-organic.
Crops harvested after the first 12 months of the conversion period may be marketed under the label - ‘Produced under conversion to organic farming’.
There is a strong market for conversion cereals and legumes for stock feed and a developing market for conversion fruit and vegetables. Farm shops can also sell the produce of the farm under this label.
The Organic label may only be applied to crops that were sown or planted into land that has achieved organic status.
