Certification systems
Certification is of two types: Third Party System (TPS) and Participatory Guarantee Scheme (PGS). Under TPS, the certifying body inspects and monitors fileds. Charges can go up to Rs 5,000 for an acre (0.4 hectare).
PGS entails training farmers to monitor fields. It is a zero-cost system and suited for small and marginal farmers.
