GLOBAL G.A.P.

Through certification, producers demonstrate theiradherence to GLOBALGAP standards. For consumersand retailers, the GLOBALGAP certificate is reassurancethat food reaches accepted levels of safety and quality,and has been produced sustainably, respecting the

health, safety and welfare of workers, theenvironment, and in consideration of animal welfareissues.


17/21

GLOBALGAP (formerly known as EUREPGAP) has established itself as a key reference for GoodAgricultural Practices (GAP) in the global market place, by translating consumer requirements intoagricultural production in a rapidly growing list of countriescurrently more than 80 on everycontinent.

GLOBALGAP is a private sector body that sets voluntary standards for the certification ofagricultural products around the globe. The aim is to establish ONE standard for Good AgriculturalPractice (G.A.P.) with different product applications capable of fitting to the whole of globalagriculture.

GLOBALGAP is a pre-farm-gate standard, which means that the certificate covers the process of thecertified product from farm inputs like feed or seedlings and all the farming activities until theproduct leaves the farm. GLOBALGAP is a business-to-business label and is therefore not directlyvisible to consumers.

GLOBALGAP certification is carried out by more than 100 independent and accredited certificationbodies in more than 80 countries. It is open to all producers worldwide.

GLOBALGAP includes annual inspections of the producers and additional unannounced inspections.

GLOBALGAP consists of a set of normative documents. These documents cover the GLOBALGAP

General Regulations, the GLOBALGAP Control Points and Compliance Criteria and the GLOBALGAPChecklist.
