Do seed dealers
need to be certified to sell organic seed?
As long as
the dealer doesn’t repackage the seed then they don’t need to
be certified.
If they do repackage organic seed
(and possibly affect the organic integrity of the product)
then they must be certified.
CONCLUSION
I hope these answers help provide a
brief summary of a fairly complex rule.
It is interesting to note that
increases in organic sales have averaged over 20% per year for
over a decade and represent the fastest growing segment of
agriculture in the US. It’s my wish that as many as possible
in the seed industry can capitalize on this incredible growth.
