umbrella schemes:
Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (PM-
RKVY) – Focus on sustainable agriculture.
Krishonnati Yojana (KY) – Address food security &
agricultural self-sufficiency.

Clean Plant Program
Digital Agriculture
Clean Plant Programme (CPP)
● Objective: To provide farmers with high-quality, virus-free
planting material to improve productivity and enhance India’s
position in the global fruit market.
● Significance: Ensures superior produce for consumers,
boosts farmer income, and strengthens India’s export
potential.
Core Components of the CPP
-
1. Clean Plant Centers (CPCs)
Nine specialized CPCs across India for different fruit types,
equipped with modern diagnostics, tissue culture labs, and
therapeutic facilities.
/
-
2. Enhancement of Infrastructure
Develop large-scale nurseries to support efficient
multiplication of clean planting material.
Mother plants from CPCs will be multiplied in
nurseries and distributed to farmers.
[Link] of Regulatory and Certification Process
Ensure accountability and traceability in the production and
sale of planting material.
National Programme for Organic Production (NPOP):
This is a program established by the Indian government to
provide standards for organic production, certification, and
trade.
It aims to ensure the quality of organic products, both for
domestic consumption and export.
It is implemented by APEDA (Agricultural and Processed
Food Products Export Development Authority), under the
Ministry of Commerce & Industry.

How It Works?
NPOP, under APEDA, sets organic standards & regulations.
Accredited Certification Bodies (CBs) inspect, verify, and
certify organic farms & products.
Certified products receive the "India Organic" logo, ensuring t
compliance with NPOP standards.
These certifications are recognized for domestic & export
markets
Key Amendments under 8th Edition:
• Simplified regulatory and certification processes.
• Reduced costs and simplified land application procedures.
• Enhanced transparency through disclosure of information
about organic farmers, growers, and related stakeholders.
NPOP Portal (National Programme for Organic Production)
Purpose: Strengthens India's organic certification system.
Promotes ease of operations for farmers and exporters.
& Eda
Public disclosure of information about organic farmers and
stakeholders.
Simplified certification procedures and reduced land application
costs.
Organic Promotion Portal
Enables showcasing certified organic products globally.
Facilitates farmers,
- FPOs, and exporters in generating trade leads.
Conducts online training & capacity-building sessions.
TraceNet 2.0 Portal
organic traceability from farm to market.
Enhances regulatory compliance & oversight.
Ensures product traceability and adherence to global organic
standards.
AgriXchange Portal (Redesigned)
Offers easy data analysis, reporting, and generation
of agricultural export data.
Facilitates better decision-making for farmers,
traders, exporters.
Connects Indian stakeholders with international
buyers.
APEDA (Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export
Development Authority):
Establishment: 1985, under the Ministry of Commerce and
Industry.
Headquarters: New Delhi.
Primary Objective: Promotion of export of agricultural and
processed food products.
Functions & Responsibilities of APEDA:
•
•

Development of industries relating to scheduled export products.
Quality assurance and enhancement of agricultural exports.
• Registration of exporters.
• Establishing standards and specifications.
• Improving packaging, marketing, and branding of products
globally.
• Conducting training and capacity building of stakeholders.
• Promoting the adoption of organic farming practices.
•

PGS-India (Participatory Guarantee System):
• Community-based, peer-review organic certification.
• Targets the domestic market and small farmers.
• Operates under the Ministry of Agriculture.
NPOP vs. PGS-India:
NPOP is primarily geared towards export markets and
larger-scale producers, with more stringent and
internationally recognized standards.
PGS-India, on the other hand, is tailored for domestic
consumption and smaller-scale, localized organic
production.
Jaivik Bharat Logo:
The "Jaivik Bharat" logo is a
unified mark for authentic organic
food in India.
Products certified under either
NPOP or PGS-India are eligible to
use this logo, assuring consumers of
their organic integrity.
Digital Agriculture Mission:
The Digital Agriculture Mission is an umbrella initiative
aimed at supporting various digital agriculture programs

Key Components: AgriStack
AgriStack is a farmer-centric Digital Public Infrastructure
(DPI) aimed at enhancing agricultural services, improving
efficiency, and ensuring transparency
Includes three key databases: Farmers' registry, geo- of
referenced village maps, and a crop sown registry.
O
Farmers will receive a digital identity, similar to
Aadhaar, linked to state land records and livestock
ownership.
