EXPOSED: The Truth Behind Organic Cotton and Key Players Revealed

Published

on

In a startling revelation, our investigation has exposed a significant fraud within the organic cotton industry that has been thriving for the past three years. Despite multiple complaints filed with the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), Textile Exchange, and the Accreditation Board (ANAB), no substantial action has been taken against the key figures involved, including Mr. Ravi Bansal and Mr. Ankeet Patel, who are allegedly collaborating with Mr. Sudarshan Matimuthu, Mr. Sandeep Vishvakarma of IDFL to perpetrate the organic cotton scam.

Our sources confirm that evidence of organic cotton fraud was submitted to GOTS and Textile Exchange on November 30th. On mail and Textile Exchange complain portal. However, it appears that GOTS and Textile Exchange have indirectly supported IDFL in continuing these fraudulent activities.

It is believed that Mr. Rahul Bhajekar, Managing Director of GOTS, and Mr. Biko Nagara, Assurance Director of Textile Exchange, have been bribed by Mr. James Moore (IDFL) to turn a blind eye to the fraud. Reports suggest that Mr. Ravi Bansal provided bribes to IDFL staff, including Mr. James Moore, who in turn allegedly bribed Mr. Rahul Bhajekar to prevent any action against IDFL.

In an unexpected move, GOTS and Textile Exchange have suspended the accreditation of Intertek—India’s leading certification body, holding over 50% market share—without conducting any investigation. This suspension has directly impacted Intertek’s clients, creating a supply-demand gap that benefits Mr. Ravi Bansal and Mr. Ankeet Patel from IDFL, enabling them to sell counterfeit organic cotton to buyers.

It is important to note that, in the history of GOTS, no other certification body has been directly suspended. Typically, complaints are investigated thoroughly before any action is taken, but in Intertek’s case, GOTS acted swiftly and without due process. This decision seems to have been strategically timed to disrupt the business of Intertek’s customers, further benefiting Mr. Ravi Bansal and Mr. Ankeet Patel by allowing them to supply fake organic cotton through their network, involving IDFL, GOTS, and Textile Exchange.

This operation is part of a carefully orchestrated plan by IDFL and its affiliates, with significant support from GOTS and Textile Exchange. Major brands like Inditex, H&M, and C&A are paying substantial fees to GOTS and Textile Exchange for their memberships, while simultaneously selling counterfeit organic cotton products to consumers who pay a premium for so-called “organic” goods—only to be deceived.

Our investigation reveals that this is a well-established ecosystem of organic cotton fraud, where every stakeholder, except the consumers, is benefiting financially. Despite numerous attempts over the past three years to stop this scam, our efforts have been thwarted, as GOTS and Textile Exchange appear uninterested in taking decisive action. Over 50 pieces of evidence detailing the fraud have been submitted to Rahul Bhajekar & Textile Exchange, yet these perpetrators continue to sell fake organic cotton openly, with no serious repercussions from GOTS or Textile Exchange.

As a responsible media outlet, we are committed to exposing this scam and raising awareness among consumers. We urge consumers to stop purchasing organic products from these brands and to boycott products labeled with misleading greenwashing logos such as GOTS and OCS. The entire organic cotton certification system, including ginners, traders, certification bodies, accreditation bodies, brands, and standard-setting organizations, is deeply compromised. It is time to root out these fraudsters, and if GOTS and Textile Exchange refuse to take action, we believe it is our duty to inform consumers about the true nature of the products they are buying at a premium.

We call on consumers to reject organic products bearing GOTS and OCS logos, which are currently supporting the fake organic cotton supply chain.

The People Involved:

  • Mr. Ravi Bansal: Owner Farmers United House, allegedly involved in organic cotton fraud and give bribe to Mr. Sudarshan & Mr. Sandeep of IDFL.

BARTION ESTATES LLC Presents Key Insights on European Real Estate Opportunities 2025

Published

on

United States, 6th Mar 2025, – Alpharetta, GA – BARTION ESTATES LLC presents a strategic outlook on the European real estate market for 2025, highlighting key investment opportunities across various sectors. Following a period of economic uncertainty, the market is projected to recover steadily, offering prospects for investors seeking diversification in office spaces, residential properties, logistics, retail, and hospitality.
 

BARTION ESTATES LLC Presents Key Insights on European Real Estate Opportunities 2025

The office sector is expected to lead the recovery with an average prime rental growth of 2.1% across Europe. Cities such as London and Paris remain preferred investment destinations, with London maintaining its top position for a fourth consecutive year. Despite broader challenges, prime office rents have shown resilience. Berlin’s office space vacancy rate rose to 6.3% in 2024, up from 5.0% a year earlier, while rental rates stabilized at €45.00 per square meter per month (approximately $46.35), indicating ongoing tenant demand.

The residential sector continues to be one of the most stable areas in the European market. Institutional investors are increasingly focusing on rental housing due to rising demand and affordability challenges. In the UK, investment in single-family rental homes exceeded ?1.5 billion by September 2024, equivalent to approximately €1.75 billion or $1.85 billion. Similar trends are seen in Amsterdam and Munich, where strong tenant demand drives rental growth. This sector is expected to remain a key priority for investors in 2025.

The logistics and industrial sectors are poised to maintain strong momentum as demand for modern supply chain infrastructure grows. The rise of e-commerce has highlighted the importance of warehouse investments. In 2024, major players invested over €1 billion (around $1.03 billion) in logistics properties. Prime logistics rents are projected to rise by 3% year-on-year in markets like Germany, France, and the Netherlands, making this sector attractive for long-term investment.

The retail sector, which faced significant repricing during the pandemic, is showing signs of stabilization. Prime retail locations, particularly in major cities, are attracting renewed interest. In Paris, premium retail rents have increased to approximately €2,500 per square meter per year (around $2,575), reflecting demand from luxury brands. Cities such as Rome and Barcelona, which benefit from strong tourism, are expected to see continued recovery in retail activity.

The hospitality sector is witnessing a surge in investment, particularly in Southern Europe. Investors have committed over €500 million (approximately $540 million) to hotel acquisitions in Greece, Spain, Italy, and Portugal. Post-pandemic tourism recovery has led to a sharp rise in hotel occupancy rates in cities like Madrid and Lisbon. This upward trend is expected to continue, with demand driven by international travelers.

Economic indicators across Europe are improving, creating a more favorable environment for real estate investments. GDP growth, resilient labor markets, and stabilized interest rates are expected to drive increased confidence in 2025. Financing conditions are also becoming more favorable, encouraging further investments. Germany’s commercial property sales are projected to rise by 10%, reflecting renewed investor interest.

Sustainability remains a critical consideration in real estate investment strategies. Governments across Europe are enforcing stricter environmental regulations, increasing demand for energy-efficient properties. Investors prioritizing sustainability will benefit from this trend. Cities like Madrid and Paris, boosted by infrastructure projects and major events such as the Paris 2024 Olympics, present particularly attractive opportunities.

In conclusion, the European real estate market in 2025 offers a diverse range of opportunities. Investors focusing on prime assets in core markets and integrating sustainability principles into their strategies will be well-positioned to achieve long-term growth. BARTION ESTATES LLC encourages investors to remain vigilant in monitoring market developments to capitalize on these emerging opportunities.
