OTA Launches Information Resource Web Site On Global Organic Exporting

To ease international trade in organic produce, the Organic Trade Association (OTA) has launched a Web site with an interactive map showing up-to-date, country by country information on organic standards and trade arrangements. The Organic Trade Resource Guide site will serve as a resource for U.S. exporters who need to know about export requirements and organic regulations worldwide, the OTA said. U.S. companies can select a target country and find out if the market is open or if trade barriers exist. The site also describes the country’s laws and standards for organic, contact information, etc.
