APEDA Denies Organic Cotton Certification Irregularities Allegations

Some people made claims about problems with how organic cotton is certified in India.

The government, specifically APEDA, said these claims were wrong and misleading.

They clarified that they don't give money to farmers for this and that the certification process covers many states, not just one.

They also said that many groups of farmers are involved in producing various organic crops, and that the certification process includes regular checks to ensure everything is done correctly.
