Agricultural / Farm & Supply Chain Certification

GLOBALG.A.P.

GLOBALG.A.P. is an internationally recognized farm-assurance standard covering food safety, environmental responsibility, worker welfare and traceability across crop, livestock and aquaculture production.

GLOBALG.A.P.

Why it matters

GLOBALG.A.P. is a market entry requirement for many retailers and buyers worldwide. Certification demonstrates safe, sustainable and responsible production, reduces the risk of food safety incidents, and opens access to export markets that demand independently verified good agricultural practices.

Who it applies to

Growers, farms, producer groups, and packing and handling operations in fruit, vegetable, crop, livestock and aquaculture production, as well as supply-chain operators managing certified produce.

Key requirements

Documented good agricultural practices, food safety and hygiene controls, traceability and record keeping, safe use of plant protection products and fertilizers, water and environmental management, and worker health, safety and welfare provisions.
