Results: The results of the study indicate that the total area under production, amount of organic goods produced, and export of organic products are increasing. The value of export has increased over the previous sixteen years from 498 cr. in 2007 to 5525.18 cr. in 2022, at a compound annual rate of 16.23 percent. Conclusions: Indian organic farming achieved a record output of different food grains and commercial and horticultural crops, proving resilience and delivering quality food security. The conditions for developing sustainable and organic agriculture are improving day by day in India.
