The Chinese government, especially the local government, has provided various supports for the development of organic agriculture since the 1990s.

The government also establishes demonstration organic gardens, provides training for organic food companies to pass certifications, subsidizes organic certification fees, pest repellent lamps, organic fertilizer and so on. The government has also been playing an active role in marketing organic products through organizing organic food expos and branding supports.<ref>[https://www.routledge.com/Organic-Food-and-Farming-in-China-Top-down-and-Bottom-up-Ecological-Initiatives/Scott-Si-Schumilas-Chen/p/book/9781138573000 Steffanie Scott, Zhenzhong Si, Theresa Schumilas and Aijuan Chen.
