Livestock Added to Organic Trade Between Japan and the US


U.S. and Japan Expand
Organic Trade Opportunities

Livestock Added to Arrangement


Effective July 16, 2020, the U.S.-Japan organic trade arrangement adds livestock to the list of products that may certified to either country’s organic standards for sale as organic in both markets.
“Opening new markets for America’s organic farmers and ranchers continues to be a priority for USDA,” said the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Marketing and Regulatory Programs Under Secretary Greg Ibach. “Japan is already one of the top export markets for U.S. organic products. This agreement opens additional opportunities for everyone involved in the international supply chain for livestock, from farm to table.”
“Japan is a key international partner in the organic market sector,” said U.S. Trade Representative Chief Agricultural Negotiator Gregg Doud. “This expanded arrangement protects and increases access for American organic farmers, ranchers, and businesses to the third largest U.S. organic export market.”
Equivalency arrangements reduce required certification costs, fees, inspections and paperwork for American organic farmers, ranchers, and businesses across the supply chain.
Organic Integrity from Farm to Table. Consumers Trust the Organic Label.
