ITC has launched a web portal for the organic sector in
developing countries.
"Organic Link" helps exporters, research centres and
other stakeholders in developing countries to find information on
buyers and markets through:
- A database of importers and
exporters. Over 1,860 companies and associations are
currently listed in this free database. Buyers and suppliers can
look for contacts according to product and country of origin.
- A portal for organic sector
information. Standards and certification, market
research, business news and directories are available. It provides
links to certification bodies, non-governmental organizations and
training and research institutes involved in the organic sector
worldwide.
An "FAQ" section provides answers to many frequently asked
questions about trade in the organic and natural products sectors.
Users can also find out more about ITC's technical assistance for
the organic sector in developing countries.
