I believe that many consumers are vague about the concept of organic vegetable food certification. What is certification? Where is the certification? Is there no guarantee for uncertified food?

The following brief introductions can relieve consumers' concerns and deepen the understanding of organic food.

For local organic food in Hong Kong, there are the following two major organizations as certification.

1. "Hong Kong Organic Resource Centre Certification Co., Ltd.
