The Mission Organic Value Chain (MOVCD) is a pivotal initiative launched by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmer Welfare to harness the immense potential of organic farming. The mission is designed to develop certified organic production in a value chain mode, ensuring a seamless connection between organic growers and consumers.

Implementation Structure
- Building Organic Value Chains: Our mission focuses on developing crop-specific organic value chains that address the entire spectrum, from organic crop production and wild crop harvesting to organic livestock management and marketing of certified organic products.
- Empowering Farmers: We aim to organize farmers into Farmer Interest Groups (FIGs) and federate them into Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), allowing them to take ownership of their organic enterprises and participate in sustainable commercial farming.
- Creating Market Access: Through partnerships between farmers and organic businesses, we are opening up avenues for organic products to reach domestic and export markets, fostering long-term trade relations.
