About Rwanda Organic Agriculture Movement
The Rwanda Organic Agriculture Movement (ROAM) is a National Umbrella Organization established in 2007 as a result of responding to the need expressed by different stakeholders in the organic sector (producers, farmers, processors, exporters and importers) to have an organized and more focused movement to spearhead the stimulation, development and promotion of the organic sector toward finding solutions to different challenges faced by the sector in Rwanda.

Standards & Certification
