<h1>India and Australia agree mutual recognition arrangement to simplify organic product certification, trade, and enforcement safeguards</h1> India and Australia executed a Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) for organic products establishing reciprocal recognition of each country's organic standards and certification systems. Designated implementing authorities will oversee trade facilitation for specified categories: unprocessed plant products (with listed exclusions), processed plant-origin foods (including certified third-country ingredients processed in either country), and wine. The MRA aims to streamline compliance, reduce certification barriers, and expand market access for exporters and farmers, while emphasizing maintenance of integrity through labelling, separation, penalties, and capacity-building obligations to ensure equivalence and enforcement.
