Harvesting and preliminary processing
Requirements for preliminary processing water and product separation
Harvested organic vegetables are pre-processed and cleaned using a clean water source. Do not mix them with conventional products. A maximum damage level of 10% is permitted on leafy vegetables due to not using chemical pesticides.
Traceability
Only vegetables that have been certified organic by PGS may be sold as ORGANIC vegetables and permitted to use the PGS logo on product packaging. Packaging must include the intergroup code and producer group code so that buyers can trace its origin.
