India offers international buyers access to a diverse range of organic manure and soil-management products for agriculture, horticulture, nurseries, landscaping and compost production. However, successful sourcing requires more than locating a supplier and comparing prices.
Importers must clearly define the required product, verify supplier capabilities, establish quality parameters, review testing and packaging options, and confirm destination-country import requirements before placing a bulk order.
This guide explains how international buyers can source products such as Cow Dung Powder, Vermicompost, Fermented Organic Manure and Cow Dung Cakes from India through a structured B2B procurement process.

Why International Buyers Source Organic Manure from India
India has an extensive agricultural sector and a range of suppliers involved in organic manure, soil amendments and related agricultural products. International buyers may source these materials for commercial farming, horticulture, nurseries, landscaping, compost manufacturing or distribution.
APEDA’s National Programme for Organic Production provides India’s framework for certified organic production and operator certification. However, buyers must distinguish between a product described as organic manure and a product covered by a valid organic certification. APEDA’s NPOP information explains the scope of organic standards, certification bodies and operator certification.

Identify the Exact Organic Manure Product
Organic manure is a broad category, not a single standardized product. Buyers should identify the required product before contacting suppliers because each material has a different preparation method, physical form and potential application.
Global Roots Exporter currently works with four principal product types:
Cow Dung Powder: A cattle-manure-based soil amendment used in agriculture, horticulture, gardening, landscaping and composting.
Vermicompost: Organic manure produced through the decomposition of organic material with the help of earthworms.
Fermented Organic Manure: Organic material prepared through a controlled fermentation process.
Cow Dung Cakes: Shaped and dried cattle-manure products used in agricultural, composting and certain traditional applications.
Define the Intended Application
The intended use influences product selection, quality parameters, physical format and packaging. A product purchased for field agriculture may require different characteristics from one intended for nurseries, landscaping or compost production.
Importers should explain how the material will be used so that the exporter can evaluate product suitability and sourcing options.
Commercial agriculture
Fruit and vegetable cultivation
Horticulture and floriculture
Nurseries and growing media
Gardening and landscaping
Compost manufacturing
Organic soil-management programmes
Agricultural input distribution
Prepare a Detailed Product Specification
A written product specification helps buyers compare offers on the same basis. It should identify measurable requirements rather than relying on terms such as “premium,” “high quality” or “natural.”
The relevant parameters vary by product. Buyers should confirm which tests and limits apply to their intended application and destination market.
Product name and physical form
Appearance and texture
Required particle or screen size
Moisture requirement
pH and electrical conductivity, where relevant
Organic carbon and nutrient parameters, where required
Heavy-metal or microbiological parameters, where required
Packaging and labeling specifications
Evaluate the Supplier and Exporter
Before placing an order, the buyer should verify the supplier’s legal identity, product focus and ability to coordinate the required quantity, packaging, testing and documentation.
Indian exporter information may include an Importer Exporter Code. The DGFT portal provides an online facility for viewing IEC information. Buyers should also request copies of relevant business and export documents directly from the supplier.
Confirm the legal business name and address
Verify available business and export registrations
Ask which products the supplier regularly handles
Review sourcing and preparation capabilities
Confirm packaging and customization options
Ask how batches and testing documents are identified
Check communication and order-management procedures
Distinguish Organic Products from Certified Organic Products
The word “organic” may describe the material or its agricultural use, but it does not automatically prove certification. If certified-organic status is commercially or legally required, the buyer should request a current certificate and verify its scope.
APEDA publishes information about NPOP and its accredited certification bodies. Buyers should verify the certified operator, products covered, certification period and authorization to use any organic logo.
Name of the certified operator
Certification body
Certificate number
Validity period
Products and activities covered
Production or processing location
Logo-use authorization where relevant
Request a Representative Sample
A sample allows the buyer to review the physical product before confirming a commercial shipment. The sample should be identified and connected to the supplier’s quotation and proposed specification.
Buyers should remember that an unrecorded sample may not reliably represent a future bulk consignment. The purchase agreement should explain how the approved sample relates to the shipment.
Sample identification
Product and batch reference
Physical appearance
Texture and particle form
Packaging condition
Laboratory testing requirements
Sample-approval record
Agree on Testing and Certificate of Analysis Requirements
Laboratory testing can help determine whether a sample or batch meets agreed parameters. Buyers should define the required tests, methods, sampling process and acceptance limits before production or sourcing begins.
A Certificate of Analysis normally applies to the identified sample or batch. It should not be treated as a guarantee for unrelated consignments.
Product and batch identification
Sample-collection method
Laboratory name
Test parameters
Test methods
Results and units
Report date
Link to the agreed specification
Confirm Packaging and Private-Label Requirements
Packaging should be selected according to the product’s physical form, handling requirements, shipment method and destination. Buyers should communicate packaging requirements early because customized materials and labels may affect cost and lead time.
Global Roots Exporter can discuss bulk packaging, buyer-specified pack sizes, customized labels and private-label requirements, subject to the product, order quantity and applicable regulations.

Check Import and Destination-Country Requirements
The importer must verify whether the product is permitted in the destination country and which permits, treatments, tests or declarations may apply. Requirements can differ because organic manure may be classified according to its composition, origin, treatment and intended use.
Some shipments may require agricultural, animal-origin, quarantine, environmental or fertilizer-related review. India’s Directorate of Plant Protection, Quarantine and Storage provides official information on plant quarantine and import-export procedures, but the buyer must also check the destination authority.
Confirm the correct customs classification
Check whether an import permit is required
Review agricultural or quarantine controls
Verify labeling and packaging rules
Confirm required tests or declarations
Identify restricted ingredients or materials
Obtain written advice from the destination authority where necessary
Agree on Commercial Terms and Incoterms
The quotation should state the selected Incoterm, port or delivery point, currency, payment terms and quotation validity. Global Roots Exporter can discuss EXW, FOB, CFR and CIF arrangements subject to the product, destination and commercial agreement.
Each Incoterm allocates transport responsibilities, costs and risk differently. The buyer should not select a term based only on the quoted price.
EXW for collection from the agreed location
FOB for delivery on board at the named port
CFR for cost and freight to the named destination port
CIF for cost, freight and insurance to the named destination port
Clearly named port or place
Defined freight and insurance responsibility
Written payment and delivery conditions
Confirm Export and Shipping Documents
The required documents depend on the product, destination, Incoterm and importing-country rules. Indian Customs uses ICEGATE for electronic export declarations, including Shipping Bills, as described by the official ICEGATE portal.
Before shipment, the buyer and exporter should prepare a document checklist that assigns responsibility for every required item.
Commercial invoice
Packing list
Shipping Bill
Bill of Lading or transport document
Certificate of Origin where applicable
Test report or COA where agreed
Insurance document for relevant terms
Import permit or other destination documents where required
Use a Clear Purchase Agreement
The purchase agreement should convert discussions into measurable commercial obligations. It should identify the product, specification, packaging, quantity, inspection process, documentation and procedure for handling non-conforming goods.
Clear written terms reduce uncertainty for both buyer and exporter.
Approved product specification
Quantity and permitted tolerance
Packaging and labeling requirements
Sample and testing conditions
Inspection responsibility
Required documents
Incoterm and delivery location
