Why it matters
Buyers of raw commodities increasingly require verified assurance of safety and production integrity. Certification supports supplier approval, market access and confidence across the agricultural supply chain.

Agricultural Product Certification
Agricultural product certification verifies that raw agricultural commodities and their production processes meet defined safety, quality and integrity criteria from field through first handling.
Who it applies to
Farms, cooperatives, producer groups and first-handlers of agricultural commodities supplying processors, traders and exporters.
