GLOBALG.A.P. certification covers a wide range of agricultural products, including fruits, vegetables, grains, and livestock.

These standards encompass various aspects of agricultural production, including:

  2. Environmental Sustainability: Encouraging responsible land use, water management, and the protection of natural resources.
  3. Animal Welfare: Addressing the humane treatment and welfare of animals in livestock farming.
  4. Social Responsibility: Promoting fair labor practices and the well-being of workers on farms.

GLOBALG.A.P. certification is recognized globally and can open doors to international markets by assuring buyers and consumers that the certified products are produced in accordance with high standards. It’s commonly used by growers, producers, and agricultural companies to demonstrate their commitment to responsible and safe farming practices.

The certification process typically involves an audit by a third-party certification body to assess compliance with GLOBALG.A.P. standards. Once certified, producers can use the GLOBALG.A.P. label on their products, indicating their adherence to these standards.
