| 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).
