OFC’s Two Levels of Organic Certification
If you grow or produce products that may end up in the export market, including as ingredients in other products, you must be certified as eligible for export. Certification to the National Standard for Organic and Bio-Dynamic Produce ensures you meet this requirement.
We offer two levels of organic/bio-dynamic certification, with eligibility determined by your business turnover. Both levels of certification are valid in domestic and international markets.

Even if you are not exporting, you must have this level of certification with OFC if your business turnover is greater than $100,000 p.a. excluding GST. Application forms for the different types of general certification OFC offers are below. Other relevant applicant information is also below. |
Affordable organic certification perfect for new or small business. It is ideal for a start-up business wanting to be certified organic to reduce the costs in the start-up phase of business.
To be eligible for Small Operator organic certification, your business turnover must not exceed $100,000 p.a excluding GST. You will be asked to sign a statutory declaration regarding your turnover prior to each annual inspection to ensure your compliance with this requirement. When your business grows above a turnover of $100,000 p.a. excluding GST, there is an increase in certification fee as you will move across to the ‘General’ certification level. Contact us for a Small Operator application and statutory declaration. |
