AGMARK License

Agmark License

India is a country with rich agriculture history with 50% of the population being employed in the agriculture sector and its contribution being 17-18% in the country's GDP. In a country with the agriculture sector playing a major role, adulteration and low-quality products are also an inseparable part of this sector. To address these issues, AGMARK licensing has been introduced, wherein AG refers to agriculture and mark stands for the term certification mark.

AGMARK license is required to be embossed on certain agriculture products prescribed by the standards specified in this regard reflecting the products meet the prescribed standards. By embossing AGMARK on a product it is assumed that the agricultural products in India conform to a set of standards approved by the Directorate of Marketing and Inspection. The AGMARK licensing is legally enforceable in the India Agricultural Produce (Grading and Marking) Act of 1937.

Presently, the AGMARK standards cover quality guidelines for over 224 agriculture products including pulses, cereals, fruits, vegetables, oils, and essential oils. The main objective behind the introduction of AGMARK licensing is to provide the best quality and unadulterated products to consumers.
