The methodology used for this research was mainly interviews conducted by farmers of Punjab district of Pakistan. YouTube videos on organic farming in Pakistan were also assessed for gaining more knowledge. From the findings of interviews, a business model used by 05 farmers in production of organic products is explored which was an untapped area in previous research. The contribution of this research is that components of business model canvas used by farmers are explored, and regulatory bodies of the agriculture sector can design policies for the development of organic agriculture in Pakistan. The novelty of this research is that a business model of companies which are producing organic products is studied, however, a business model of organic farming still needs to be explored which is currently attempted. Farmers think that organic farming is a very lengthy and time-consuming process, but they are not aware of the fact that this is the healthiest, environmentally friendly and profitable business.
