What is an organic product?

At a time when the market is saturated with products spiked with agricultural and industrial chemicals (that may indeed be damaging to our health) Organic produce offers you an alternative that is high in nutritional value, free of chemical toxic residue and unadulterated by synthetic chemical additives.

Hand-picked from farms and plantations maintained without the use of pesticides and artificial fertiliser. Our products utilize natural fertilisers such as green manure, compost, cattle dung and vermiculture. As a result all Lanka Organics' products are certified as organic products for European, Japanese & US organic standards.

The certification process involves an annual inspection of the farms as well as an annual inspection and audit of the processors’ and the administration offices by an independent inspection body. Organic standards require that a clear audit trail be established and maintained for all products to ensure complete traceability from farm to consumer.

All farms are inspected to assess their sustainability. Organic farming practices are also closely monitored. If farms do not meet the standard, they do not receive organic certification. This means that Lanka Organics has to work closely with the farmers at all times, who are imparted with planning knowledge and awareness of organic practices.

Organic certification of products is carried out by the certifying bodies
NASAA (Australia) and Control Union (Netherlands).
