The GLOBALG.A.P. IFA Standard has been developed for businesses involved in primary agricultural production, in particular fruit and vegetable producers. It is intended for both individual farms and producer groups. The standard covers the entire production chain — from planting and crop cultivation, through harvesting, to the handling of the final product, including storage and packing.
The scope of the standard defines requirements for ensuring product safety through the application of Good Agricultural Practices (G.A.P.), the implementation of Integrated Farm Assurance principles, HACCP-based food safety systems, and full product traceability.
Farms and companies certified to GLOBALG.A.P. not only demonstrate their commitment to food safety and environmental protection — including minimizing the negative impact of agricultural practices and reducing chemical inputs — but also gain a competitive advantage, strengthening confidence and trust among buyers and retail partners.

If you deem it appropriate, a diagnostic audit can be conducted before the certification audit to ensure that all required standards are correctly implemented and functioning.
- Audit Report.
The auditor generates a report based on the assessment conducted in your company. If not all required criteria are met, we will inform you and specify a timeframe for corrective actions.
- Decision on Certification.
After preparing the report, the auditor submits it to our unit for final verification. If the report is accepted, we make a decision to issue the certificate.
