AGMARK certification

AGMARK is the government grading mark for agricultural produce — spices, pulses, ghee, honey, vegetable oils and more — certifying quality against grade standards. It is compulsory for a few products and a quality signal for the rest.

Issued by
Directorate of Marketing & Inspection
Law
Agricultural Produce (Grading and Marking) Act 1937 and the General Grading and Marking Rules 1988

How AGMARK certification works

The usual picture. Procedures, fees and forms differ by state and authority — always check the current rules before you apply.

Who needs it

  • Packers of graded agricultural products for the domestic market
  • Exporters of commodities where the importing country asks for AGMARK
  • Producers selling to government buyers who specify AGMARK

Documents usually asked for

  • Proof of the premises and the grading laboratory (own or approved)
  • Details of the commodities and grades
  • Constitution of the business and identity proof
  • Chemist's qualifications for the grading lab

The process

  1. Set up or tie up with an approved grading laboratory
  2. Apply online to DMI for a certificate of authorisation
  3. Inspection of the premises and the lab
  4. Authorisation granted; grade and mark each lot
