ECO
Inspection and certification of organic products (eco)
In order to be able to sell under the organic/bio/ecological label is necessary to be certified as organic. There is no difference between these 3 terms, in Romania the official term is “agricultura ecologica”, the other terms originating from English and French. The organic foodstuff is a result of the organic farming. Organic farming represents a global system of farm management and food production that combines best environmental practices, a high level of biodiversity, preservation of natural resources and application of high standards on animal wellbeing and production methods that aligns with certain consumers' preference for products produced using natural substances and processes.
Advantages of Certification
- Certification guarantees the organic quality of the product and applies to all economic operators in the food chain: producer – processor – distributor – trader
- Certified organic farming ensures environmental sustainability, contributing to animal wellbeing and consumer health
- Organic Certification helps consumers to easily distinguish between organic and counterfeit products labeled as “organic”.
About certification of organic products
In Romania, control and certification of organic products is performed by private Control bodies (CB’s). They are approved by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, which is mandatory preceded by the accreditation performed by an accreditation body (in Romania the national accreditation body is RENAR).
