I love organic fruits and veggies. They are small than the fertilized ones.
When you say organic, its the fruit of a plant without any Chemical Fertilizer and Chemical Pesticides used during the process of growing.

Sugarcane baggase can be very well utilised for production of organic fertilizer. You can dump those in a pit. Put some decomposing microorganism. Cover it. After 6-8 months those will be converted to compost. Or else those can be composted by vermin compost method. Earth worms will convert those to organic fertilizer. cow dung and cow urine can also be cover on the sugarcane baggase to make those decomposed.

since baggase is almost pure cellulose and contains almost no nutrients it is not a viable fertilizer. Without the addition of other nutrients, nitrogen in particular, it will decompose very slowly and rob plants of necessary nutrients and slow growth.

In Quesería, Colima, México local sugar mill has been making compost by 1000s tons, out of baggase succesfully. They made machines to “turn” piles, they add nitrogen in form of sugar left overs. The name of company is Ingenio Queseria, S.A. de C.V and the colateral company that produces compost is TIERRA VIVA (live earth)
