Organic
Worldwide

Naturland quality from around the world

There are now about 140,000 farmers in almost 60 different countries who produce food in accordance with our internationally recognised Naturland standards. Outside of Germany, they are mostly incorporated in smallholder cooperatives or producer associations. Around 600,000 hectares of land worldwide are farmed by them. In addition to tea and coffee, we certify bananas, pineapples, cocoa, sugar cane, spices, olives, prawns, salmon and others. Our quality benchmark is much higher than the EU’s, which has enabled us to gain the trust of consumers.

We promote organic production and social recognition of organic agriculture worldwide. Our work enables us to contribute towards protecting the environment and its resources, ensuring food security and improving people's living conditions. To ensure that a Naturland certification is attainable even for low-acreage farmers, we also work with producer associations that incorporate numerous individual producers. In this case, a producer association or ‘cooperative’ counts as one Naturland member. This is why in Peru, for example, we have seventeen members comprising twelve cooperatives and five larger individual farms. In total, they incorporate 2,986 producers in Peru.
