Global standard for Good Agricultural Practice — the certification many EU cooperatives carry as their farm-level baseline.
A privately operated certification standard for farm-level food safety, environmental practice, worker welfare and animal welfare. Established 1997 (originally EurepGAP); now used in 130+ countries with 200,000+ certified producers.
It's the most widely recognised farm-level certification across our origin countries (Türkiye, Morocco, Greece, France, Italy, Albania, Lebanon) and the one most UK buyers already trust. Equivalent national standards may substitute on a case-by-case basis, but the default requirement makes the supplier-vetting process tractable.
Yes — every certified producer has a GLOBALG.A.P. Number (GGN) that can be looked up at database.globalgap.org. Importable's TrustBadge for GlobalG.A.P. claims links directly to the database search.
Producer-level certification covers farming practice; the GlobalG.A.P. Chain of Custody (CoC) standard covers downstream handling. Importable's Rotterdam hub holds CoC certification, so the certified produce identity is preserved from field to crate.
