	How do you deal with the fact that the certification process in your country, where the seed is produced, is not necessarily the same as the certification process in the country to which you export your seed?
	The certification process should be exactly the same everywhere. The public certifying agencies are very experienced with by-lateral agreements and the private certifying agencies usually have an international umbrella. IFOAM is an international organization and PPIS is the Ministry of Aagriculture. Both follow the European Community and the American regulations. Genesis Seeds has been ISO 9002 certified since 2001 and meets international quality standards.
