guestI'd like to hear details of purchasing organic foods that are really organic, that is, certified organic by known certifiers. I have specific health needs for such foods and would need to gain an understanding of this before considering a move.
Panaman16Re: Certified Organic Food "Organics" stores in Panama City and Coronado have a limited selection of certified organic packaged foods available, but to the best of my knowledge there is no certifying process in Panama. Most fruits and vegetables are imported, with some coming from Cerro Punta in Chiriqui, but are heavily sprayed and fertilized. Best to grow your own produce at the higher elevations such as Boquete, Volcan, El Valle, Santa Fe, or Sora.
