🌱 About the Producer / Supplier：
Why don’t organic farmers apply for certification? When the non-certified producers on our platform who use organic fertilizers and organic pesticides and pay attention to soil quality management and fertilizers sell, we often trust the "people" themselves, for example, through on-site inspections and regular inspections between us. Updates on farming conditions actually make consumers more confident.
Compared with large and medium-sized farms that have already applied for certification, they generally lack human resources. Organic certification does have a great effect on some consumers and farms. However, certified organic vegetables and non-certified organic vegetables are two different things. Different markets serve different customers and even prices vary.
