The analysis of secondary data reveals that along with the increase in production, there is also an increase in the different varieties of organic agricultural products. It is evident that organic farming has increased due to increased land usage for the cultivation in recent years in the Asian continent. From the study it is observed that the cumulative aggregate growth rate has increased from 6% to 29% during the year 2010-11 till 2015-16.
