Hyderabad: The Telangana government is set to launch a dedicated app to connect consumers directly with certified organic farmers, as the state government looks to make genuine organic produce more accessible while giving a fillip to natural farming.
Agriculture Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao will launch the “TG Organics” app on May 4 at Tandur in Vikarabad district. The platform lists over 500 farmers certified by the Telangana Organic Certification Authority, and features more than a hundred products, including vegetables, fruits and food grains, available for direct purchase.
A key feature of the app is location-based search, allowing buyers to find certified organic farmers within a 50-km radius and choose from those available in their area.
The launch comes as Telangana consolidates its position as a leader in natural farming nationally.
According to a report tabled in the Lok Sabha on April 12, the state ranked first in the country in natural farming. Around 5.53 lakh hectare are currently under organic or natural farming in Telangana, with more than 4.52 lakh farmers having adopted the method.
The state also has 489 clusters under the National Mission on Natural Farming, covering 24,736 hectares. In March 2026, kits were distributed to 61,125 new farmers ahead of the kharif season rollout.
