Agmark Registration

🌱 Agmark Registration – Elevate the Quality of Your Agricultural Products

Display the Agmark seal and show the world that your agricultural goods meet India’s highest quality standards. Managed by the Directorate of Marketing & Inspection (DMI) under the Ministry of Agriculture, Agmark certifies compliance with established grades for over 220 commodities—including pulses, oils, spices, cereal grains, and honey.

✅ What is Agmark?

Agmark (short for Agricultural Marketing) is a government-certified quality assurance mark under the Agricultural Produce (Grading and Marking) Act, 1937. It verifies that your product matches prescribed standards on nutritional and safety parameters . Most certifications are voluntary, except in some categories like blended vegetable oils where Agmark is mandatory under FSSAI regulations.
