"For the last three years, we have worked in compliance with all organic farming requirements. As a result, 30,379 ha of our 33,000 ha cultivated areas are certified," Kestutis Juscius, the company's chairman and its largest indirect shareholder, said in a press release, on Monday.

"These certificates confirm that crops grown in these certified areas and milk produced from 3,500 dairy cows fully comply with the strict organic standards provided by and recognized throughout the European Union," he said.

Juscius said that the remaining areas would be certified in 2018 and 2019.

Auga Group's Baltic Champs, the largest grower of champignons in the Baltics, had its products certified as organic in 2015. The group last year launched organic fresh vegetables and canned products.
