Which Management Plan(s) Apply to You?

There are several management plans available of which one or more may apply to you. The guide gives examples of what is included under each management plan, to help you decide which one(s) you require.

Livestock	Animal farming such as poultry (including eggs), dairy, goats, sheep and beef
Horticulture	Produce growing such as vegetables, fruit, and herbs
Collection from the wild	Farming of naturally growing groups of products rather than farmed goods eg wild mushrooms from a forest area
Aquaculture	Fish farming of Shellfish, fish, and all bio-marine produce from farms. This DOES NOT include the catching of wild fish or the gathering of wild seaweed
Apiary (bees)	Bee farming, including hives and honey collection, pollen, propolis and wax
Processor	Processing to modify product eg meat processing, processing milk, cream, cheese, or creating products from fruit. May also apply to apiaries (A contractor processing the product on your behalf may need to be audited also). Click here for ingredients list. Click here for recipe formulation form.
Pack house	Fruit and vegetable sourcing to grade and on-sell or export
Transporter	Transporting of organic products. If this is your primary business, then this management plan applies. All other management plans do cover the transportation of goods if this isn’t a primary focus of your business
Exporter and wholesaler	Purchasing of organic products and on-selling to processors or retailers, either within the country or overseas for export
Retailer	Retailing organic products. This applies to all supermarkets or retail stores who handle and sell organic products
