Unlike ISI/BIS (industrial products) or FSSAI (food safety), AGMARK specifically covers agricultural commodities like ghee, honey, spices.
To answer this question, you need to understand the certification systems for agricultural food products.

Agmark is a certification mark issued by the Government of India to indicate the quality and purity of agricultural food products like ghee, honey, etc. Agmark certification ensures that the products meet the specified standards and are safe for consumption.
