Organic Farmers find it difficult to continue their organic farming practices due to various reasons like inadequate support from Governments and universities, contaminated water, deteriorated soil due to application of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and weed killers which affected productivity and production and also resulted in unhealthy food products, shortage of labour, inadequate organic manure due to decreasing livestock population and ineffective supply chain of organic farming system. The cost of production in Organic Farming is more and customers are not ready to buy by paying more. About production and productivity facts and opinion differs among the experts, farmers and actual. Required quantity of organic pesticides and weed killers are not available. Loss of different type of our age old seeds in all food crops affects productivity and production. Organic farmers found no specific demand for their produce. Traders found difficulties to get the required quantity of products as per demand.
