Russia has become a leader in the number of organic producers among the EAEU countries

The development of organic production in RUSSIA was facilitated by the creation of legislative and other infrastructure, according to the Ministry of Agriculture. So, in recent years, a whole apparatus has been formed from certification bodies for organic products, a single label for such products, a register of organic producers, the report says. In addition, Russian standards for organic products are harmonized with international standards in order to simplify the EXPORT of this type of product.
