Strawberry Plant Tray for Professionals

Since 2022, trays and mini-trays have been banned in organic farming. Okay, but what can we do?

Since 2022, organic standards have prevented the production of certified organic Tray Plants. This restriction concerns cultivation techniques, including the fertilizers used and the length of time runners are grown, which no longer meet regulatory requirements.

As a result, professionals can use:

Tray Plants UAB: grown in compliance with mostly organic standards, they remain a legal and effective option for producing certified organic strawberries.

Conventional Tray Plants under exemption: in the absence of available organic alternatives, these plants can be used after validation by a certification body.

In practice, exemptions in organic farming are generally granted more easily for UAB or untreated plants than for classic conventional plants.

How to make an organic exemption?

You must submit your request to your certification body before signing your quote. To submit your request: BIO exemption procedure
