Organic plants shall be produced in either of the following methods: 

• Cultivation management methods so as to reduce the load from agricultural production on the environment as much as possible, by avoiding the use of chemical synthetic fertilizers and substances for plant pest and disease control in principle and exercising the farmland productivity derived from original soils (including productivity derived from agricultural and forestry products, in case of fungi production) in order to sustain and enhance the natural recycling function of agriculture;
• Harvest organic plants by methods so as not to interfere in preserving the ecosystem in collection areas (areas for collecting plants growing naturally; hereafter the same).
