WhatisGlobalGAP

• GLOBALGAP is a private sector body that sets out voluntarystandards for the certification of production processes ofagricultural (including Aquaculture) products around theglobe.

• GLOBALGAP is a global scheme and a reference for GoodAgricultural Practice (G.A.P.), which is managed by theGLOBALGAP Secretariat.


GlobalGAPIFAStructure

The GLOBALGAP IFA CPCC document is separated into differentmodules.

These modules are grouped into:1. “Scopes” covering more generic production issues, classified

more broadly (All Farm Base, Crops Base, Livestock Base andAquaculture Base).

2. “Sub-scopes” covering specific production details, classifiedper product type (Fruit and Vegetables, Combinable Crops,Coffee (green), Tea, Flowers and Ornamentals, Cattle &Sheep, Pigs, Dairy, Poultry, Salmon and Trout
