(b) set out the procedures of organic production, processing, handling, storage, transport and labelling;
(c) provide guidelines for permitted inputs used for soil fertilising and conditioning and pest and disease management;
(d) protect consumers against deception and fraud in the marketplace, and assure consumers that organically produced products meet a consistent standard;
