A special treatment method is used to prevent contamination. Sampling and analysis methods are used for checking purity of the products, While certifying plantations and farms, LACON looks at the field specification, the crops that are being grown, the crop cycles being followed, the quality of seeds used, the date of sowing and harvesting, the yield estimate per hectare – to name a few parameters that are taken into consideration.
