Organic agriculture Europe

The equivalency agreement with Europe allows Canadian companies to trade with Europe all products covered by the agreement, including 100% Canadian unprocessed organic products as well as processed products in the 95% and above category.

Only products sold in Europe can bear the Euroleaf logo.

Since January 1, 2025, all third countries are now under the new European standard known as 2018/484. Our current equivalence agreement will be renegotiated by the end of 2026. For now, the current agreement is in effect and allows us to export all products identified as equivalent on the Ecocert certificate.

Within the scope of the agreement:

• Unprocessed plant products (produced or grown in Canada);
• Live animals or unprocessed animal products (raised in Canada);
• Processed agricultural products for human or animal consumption (with full/final processing taking place in Canada);
• Plant propagation material and seeds (produced or grown in Canada);
• Wine (with full or final processing taking place in Canada);
• Seaweed (produced or processed in Canada).

Outside the scope of the agreement:

• Organic products certified under the CAN/CGSB 32.312 standard other than seaweed;
• Any products that are not Canadian and have not been processed;
• Non-edible products.

Only to companies that export their products to Europe.
