Sikkim-A complete organic state is the need of the hour but it requires a well planned road map .The introduction of the tracebility in the country in the future will attract proper protocols for organic farming and there is great need for capacity building and awareness to adopt the organic farming and opt for GAP and Organic certification.A visible model of Sikkim will be a eye opener for other state.
The road map should have the participatory models for value chain partners for producing certified organic crops as well as the value addition center (for processing organic food for exports as well as for domestic requirements) to ensure the remunerative prices to the growers and to minimize the post harvest losses
