DELHI - Moves are afoot which could lead to a revamp of India's controversial organic cotton certification systems, according to our sources.
What shape it will take remains unclear, but we understand a committee has been set up to try and resolve the problem with consultations taking place with industry.
It follows recent new suspensions of certification agencies in India, where IOAS (International Organic Accreditation Service) suspended the accreditation of both Control Union (CU) India and Extensive Standard Technical Services (ESTS) for failing to meet the requirements of standards bodies.
