The transition period is recognized as the period from the start of organic production to the time the organic certificate is earned. The transition period for annual plants is one year, while that of forage plants is two years and for the perennial plants it is three years. However, this period can be shortened depending on land conditions.
During the transition process, producers are able to sell their products only in the third year, with the label ‘organic transition product’. Once the transition process is completed, they can earn the organic product certificate to be sold as organic products.
