The official sign of Russian organic products will be a white sheet on a green background with the inscription 'ORGANIC' in Cyrillic and Latin letters. The presence of this mark on the product will inform consumers that the product and its production comply with national standards for organic farming. The Ministry of Agriculture of Russia has received exclusive rights to the trademark for organic products. The corresponding certificate was issued by Rospatent.
Unlike the bill on environmentally friendly agricultural products, which allows the use of fertilizers, plant protection products, feed and food additives in the production of the group of the safest fertilizers for humans and the environment, the law on organic products, which comes into force in 2020, implies a complete ban on the use of agrochemicals .
Now the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia, together with other authorities, is developing by-laws, including the maintenance of a register of organic producers, several state standards have already been developed.
