GLOBALG.A.P.

GLOBALG.A.P. The standard promotes good agricultural practices and reassures consumers about food production on the farm. GLOBALG.A.P. In production, harmful effects on the environment are minimized, the use of chemicals is reduced, and labor protection and safety are ensured.

GLOBALG.A.P. It is an initiative launched in 1997 by major European retail supermarkets, which came together to ensure that the agricultural products they put on their shelves are safe and do not harm human health. Today, it has become a global standard in force all over the world. 70-80% of major retailers and manufacturers in Europe are currently members or registered with GLOBALGAP (EUREPGAP). GLOBALG.A.P. The standard applies to both individual farmers and producer/farmer groups (eg cooperatives, large exporters, packers, etc.); Producer/Farmer groups are also required to be competent to implement elements of Quality Management System documentation and manage relationships between producers. It is an Integrated Farm Assurance system for Control Points and Compliance Criteria. GLOBALG.A.P. The standard undergoes continuous improvement and is revised every four years to take into account technological and market developments.
