The world's leading farm assurance standard. Required by international retailers and export markets.
GLOBALG.A.P. (Good Agricultural Practices) is an international standard for farm production. It sets requirements for food safety, environmental sustainability, worker welfare, and traceability across 135+ countries.
The standard uses a system of control points classified as Major Must, Minor Must, and Recommendations. Farms must achieve 100% compliance on Major Musts and 95% on Minor Musts to earn certification.
It's the most widely adopted farm certification standard globally and is required by most European retailers, as well as many multinational buyers in Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas.
Farms exporting to European retailers, multinational buyers, or international supply chains that require GLOBALG.A.P. certification. Also increasingly requested by premium domestic buyers seeking international-standard assurance.
