Established in 1937, AGMARK was initially meant to promote standardization and quality assurance in agricultural produce. It aims to protect the interests of farmers as well as consumers by ensuring that the agricultural products bearing the AGMARK certification meet certain minimum quality standards.
The
AGMARK certification covers a wide range of agricultural products including grains,
pulses, spices, edible oils, fruits, vegetables, and more. The standards set by
AGMARK encompass various aspects such as purity, quality, hygiene, and
packaging. Products meeting these standards are entitled to use the AGMARK
logo, indicating their quality and adherence to specified criteria.
For
consumers, AGMARK certification provides assurance regarding the quality and
authenticity of agricultural products they purchase. For farmers and producers,
it offers a means to differentiate their products in the market and build trust
among consumers. Additionally, AGMARK helps in facilitating fair trade
practices and promoting agricultural exports by ensuring compliance with
international quality standards.

AGMARK is a quality certification mark for agricultural produce in India that assures products conform to grade standards notified under the Agricultural Produce (Grading & Marking) Act, 1937.
AGMARK covers a wide range of commodities including cereals, pulses, spices, edible oils, fruits & vegetables and more — over 200 items under notified standards.
No — AGMARK certification
is voluntary for most commodities, though it is mandatory for certain items
like blended edible vegetable oils, fat spread, honey, ghee, etc.
The certification is issued by the Directorate of Marketing & Inspection (DMI), under the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare.
The applicant must have access to an AGMARK-recognised laboratory (or have their own quality-control lab) and adequate storage & processing infrastructure to maintain standard requirements.
Required documents generally include: business registration/constitution (MOA/AOA or partnership deed), product list, address of premises, test report from approved lab, turnover details and product samples.
If all documentation and lab tests are in
order, the process often takes around 30-40
days.
