High Cost to Receive International Certification Challenges Growth

The demand for food certification is being driven in response to the increasing demand for quality-tested and safe foods for health considerations. With changing lifestyle and increasing purchasing power in several parts of the world, consumers are spending generously on quality-tested foods for longer years of good health.

Despite strong demand for quality-tested foods, the high cost of obtaining international certifications has dissuaded some manufacturers to look at long term business profits. This is challenging the market’s growth.
