In principle, starting from June 1 of this year, organic crops produced in Europe and the United States can be directly sold in each other's markets. Since the consumption of organic food in European and American countries accounts for 90% of the global market, it is estimated that after the integration of the two sides' certification agreement, they can jointly benefit by 40 billion euros.Өгүүлэл нь ...-аас авсанFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/mn/11363/
The market share of organic food in the European Union is growing at an annual rate of 6%.

Dacian Ciolos, the European Commission Commissioner responsible for Agriculture and Rural Development, stated that the agreement integrating the two sides' certification mechanisms helps make organic food certification standards more transparent, strengthens consumer confidence in products, and enhances recognition of organic food and products.Өгүүлэл нь ...-аас авсанFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/mn/11363/
The report states that before the integration of organic food certification between the European Union and the United States, the two sides' respective organic food certification regulations were largely similar, with the difference being that the United States allows antibiotics to be applied to apples and pears to prevent invasive bacterial infections, while the European Union only agrees that antibiotics can be used on animals infected by pathogens.Өгүүлэл нь ...-аас авсанFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/mn/11363/
In the end, both sides agreed to a comprehensive prohibition on the use of antibiotics and reached an agreement, so that operators can significantly save on certification fees, paperwork, and inspection costs.Өгүүлэл нь ...-аас авсанFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/mn/11363/
