    Getting certified in 4 steps

    Organic SAGARPA Mexico certification process

    To obtain the “Organic SAGARPA Mexico” certification, the following steps must be followed:

    Implement the Organic Practices

    Practices should be reviewed and implemented in accordance with the Organic Production Law (LPO) and additional regulations. Conversion period: every productive unit has to go through a conversion period before it can be certified.

    Organic plan

    Each producer / operator that wishes to produce, certify and trade products classified as Organic must establish an Organic Plan in which the activities carried out in the production unit are fully described.

    Contact an Organic Certification Body (OCO) approved by SENASICA

    Producers wishing to produce, certify and commercialize their products as Organic should approach an OCO approved by SENASICA, who will guide them through the certification process (like Control Union).

    Certification of Organic products

    Once the previous steps have been covered, Control Union will carry out at least one organic inspection in which the compliance with regulations will be verified. After reviewing the outcomes of the inspection, Control Union would issue the corresponding certificate to the applicant.

    • Certification under Organic Mexican Standard LPO is mandatory in order to commercialize organic products within the national territory
