Natural Origins

Natural Origins was founded in 1996 by Raja Ramji who, together with his wife Susanna, has been actively involved in promoting the growth of this small but important industry.

In 1997, the company set up a 100% organic cotton fabric production program in a large integrated weaving mill in India and implemented operating practices to meet organic fibre processing standards.

Since 1998, Natural Origins has been an accredited supplier of organic cotton products and fabrics to major US and European customers.

In 2006, Natural Origins opened an office in Sydney, Australia to serve the needs of the south east asian market.

Raja Ramji was elected to the Steering Committee of the Organic Fiber Council (OFC) - the fibre Organic Trade Associationsegment of the US-based Organic Trade Association - in 2000 and has served continuously since that time.  He was on the Standards Committee of OFC, which was charged with developing the organic fibre processing standards as well as organic garment labeling standards.  These standards have since been submitted to the US Department of Commerce and the USDA for incorporation into the National Organics Program regulations.
