Organic

Worth about €27 billion, the European organic market has grown by 125 percent in the last decade. This provides an exciting opportunity for food companies to participate in this continuing growth. However, in order to benefit from this, you must be certified to sell your organic products in accordance with the legal requirements of the European Union. Kiwa is one of the pioneers of the organic movement in Europe. We carry out inspections and certifications in all areas of organic production: for farmers, processors, distributors, importers, exporters and warehouses. Also restaurants, caterers and bistros can be certified by us. By partnering with Kiwa you are able to access the European organic market and show your customers your commitment to sustainability and quality.
