Funded by the Vegetable Marketing Organisation (VMO) Agricultural Development Fund, HOFA collaborated with Biology Department of Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBC) and Produce Green Foundation (PGF) establishing Hong Kong Organic Resources Centre (HKORC) in December 2002. HKORC works on the development of local organic standard and certification system. Under management of HKORC, Hong Kong Organic Resource Centre Certification Limited (ORC-Cert) has been set up in 2004 to provide certification service for local organic production and processing.
