Before operators can start farming organically or manufacturing organic products they must first notify to an organic inspection body or authority in their Member State. Their premises and production methods have to be inspected and acknowledged by the control body or authority. Organic farms also have to undergo a conversion period, before they can sell their products as organic.

In order to verify whether an operator is certified or otherwise one may check in the list of Organically Certified operators under the control of the Malta Competition and Consumer Affairs Authority (MCCAA) which the only recognised Control Authority for Organic Farming in Malta.
