1. Required Certifications include EU Organic Certifications, USDA Organic, AUS Organic, etc
2. Relatively few developing countries have certification bodies within their borders (although the situation is changing), and even when sufficient resources are available to pay for certifications, farmers often lack the information to find credible inspectors
3. All organic products imported into the EU must have the appropriate electronic certificate of inspection (e-COI)
4. There are not a lot of companies in Mexico that are licensed to give the organic certification
