The QIMA Organic Seal is more than just a brand; it is a badge of quality that certifies a product meets the rigorous requirements set by organic production guidelines. These guidelines are based on biological and ecologically sustainable principles, ensuring not only the absence of harmful synthetic substances but also respect for the environment and sustainable agricultural practices.
When a product showcases the Organic Seal, consumers can have confidence that it has been grown, processed, and distributed in accordance with the highest standards established for organic products. The presence of the seal promotes market transparency and strengthens consumer confidence, offering them the assurance that they are making a conscious and healthy choice.
Moving towards sustainability: Exclusive QIMA Seal
QIMA plays a fundamental role in establishing and maintaining the guidelines and standards for organic product certification. As the exclusive rights holder to use the seal, our primary responsibility is to ensure that certified products meet the highest standards set by organic production regulations.
In addition to setting these standards, we take on the responsibility of conducting periodic inspections and verifications to ensure that producers adhere to the established norms. These inspections not only guarantee compliance with organic production standards but also provide clarity, understanding, and importantly, trust – for both producers and consumers.
Through this diligent work, consumers can fully trust the organic seal as an indicator of quality and sustainability, while producers can demonstrate their commitment to responsible and eco-friendly farming practices.
