This report presents the findings of a baseline study commissioned by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and Biovision Africa Trust (BvAT) to investigate the usage and compliance of the East Africa Organic Products Standard (EAOPS) among companies trading in organic products in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.
