Organic agriculture is a popular method for reducing the detrimental effects of chemical agriculture. In India, farming has become increasingly unsustainable during the previous three decades. The system prioritized high output over ecological and human welfare concerns. Organicfarminginvolvesusing biofertilizersandpestcontrolderivedfromanimal or herbal waste. The present study highlighted that the Compound Annual Growth rate using the Logistic Growth Model for India's organic agricultural production from 2019–20 to 2023–24. Thefibre crop has production been tremendous increased from 370079to 1708322 metric tonnes with CAGR at 36.42 per cent. The Fibre, sugar, cereals and millets, spices and condiments, fresh fruits and vegetables, coffee, fodder, other crops, processed foods, andtotal production (including fibre), havebeen positively significant at the 1% level (0.001). It could have been considered that the following organic agricultural goods exhibited positive growth from 2019–20 to 2023–24. However, the oilseeds, pulses, goods from medicinal plants, tea, dry fruits, flowers, and tubers, as well as the overall production excluding fiber products, were negatively significant. Hence, the oilseeds, pulses, medicinal plants products, tea, dry fruits, flower, tuber products and total production excluding fibre products in India have been negatively growing during the same period. Therefore, India has the opportunityto become a global leader in organic agriculture because to the efforts of top firms, growing consumer demand for organic products and substantial government support. The further development of thissustainableapproach will helpfarmers, consumers, and theenvironment.
