Annual Report 2013/14 Part I

Building a Global Solution
through Partnership and
Collaboration
GLOBALG.A.P. Annual Report 2013-2014
GLOBALG.A.P.
The Global Partnership for Safe & Sustainable Agriculture
G.A.P. stands for Good Agricultural Practices and
GLOBALG.A.P. is the worldwide standard that assures it.
We’re a global organization with a crucial objective: safe, sustainable
agriculture worldwide. We set voluntary standards for the certification of
agricultural products around the globe–and more and more producers,
suppliers and buyers are harmonizing their certification standards
to match.
OUR PURPOSE
GLOBALG.A.P. members create private sector incentives for
agricultural producers worldwide to adopt safe and sustainable
practices to make this world a better place to live for our children.
OUR MISSION
Globally connecting farmers and brand owners in the production
and marketing of safe food to provide reassurance for consumers.
We lay the foundation for the protection of scarce resources by the
implementation of Good Agricultural Practices with a promise for a
sustainable future.
Guy Callebaut
Vice-Chairman of the Board VBT/BelOrta, Grower
GLOBALG.A.P. Chairman of the Board
The family farm continues to
be a core focus of our strategies
toward developing solutions to address
food safety, food security, and social and environmental sustainability.
By helping growers implement Good Agricultural Practices we can generate
the required effects on the ground to enable small-scale farmers meet retail and
manufacturer markets. And we gain the recognition of large customers aiming
to meet their consumers’ demands.
However, we need and must work on new approaches that will make it easier, more
cost effective, and more attractive for farmers worldwide to adopt safe and sustainable
production practices. GLOBALG.A.P. is playing its role in bringing together the relevant
partners in 2014. Our industry solutions and collaboration efforts are more than ever
driven by our conviction that Good Agricultural Practices can play a key role in
increasing yields and reducing the environmental impact of farming at a global scale.
Kristian Moeller
GLOBALG.A.P. CEO and Secretary
2014 is all about collaboration. The seeds we
cultivated in 2013 have made us a strong partner
on many fronts. GLOBALG.A.P. has clearly established
itself as a global solution for farm assurance applicable to all farm
sizes, with no ambition to compete with consumer-facing labels, downstream
supply chain partners, or government audit systems.
GLOBALG.A.P. extends its partnership to other global and local systems and market
players seeking efficient and effective mainstream solutions for a secure and sustainable
future to feed the planet. We offer a clear focus on food safety paired with other significant
elements of Good Agricultural Practices, a transparent and robust integrity system equipped
with an increasing flexibility to respond to market requirements, and modular and
customized solutions for certification, farm assessments, and capacity building.

The GLOBALG.A.P. Board
GLOBALG.A.P. Members Elect a New Board for 2013-2017 Term
The GLOBALG.A.P. Board determines and governs all strategy and policy resolutions, which the GLOBALG.A.P. Management
then executes. With the support of the Secretariat and taking into account the technical advice from the respective GLOBALG.A.P.
technical and stakeholder committees, the GLOBALG.A.P. Board designs the standard setting process, adopts standards and rules,
and provides the legal framework for regulating the certification bodies. The outgoing board (2008-2012) had revised and
approved new Terms of Reference for governance, setting the foundation for the Board election process. The first task of the new
Board was to develop and adopt a detailed business and marketing plan as well as define transparent internal and external
reporting procedures.

Regional Report - EUROPE
Europe remains GLOBALG.A.P.’s strongest market, both in the number of certified
growers and the recognition among food buyers. With the support of our retail
members, we have expanded into the central eastern European region in 2013.
And we have strengthened our brand by expanding our services to become a
business-integrated solution for risk management.
Our GLOBALG.A.P. Database Bookmarking system for producer and supplier
monitoring is progressively gaining market-wide acceptance, with customer-side
system integration projects in various implementation phases currently in progress.
The revision and adoption of the GLOBALG.A.P. Chain of Custody Standard
Version 5 provides added traceability at all stages of the supply chain.
In aquaculture certification, we have expanded our list of certifiable species to include
European aquaculture species. We also continue to work with consumer label programs
to produce an integrated and efficient response and solution to increasing consumer
demands for responsibly farmed seafood.
The range and impact of our GLOBALG.A.P.+ Add-On products is also growing.
The GLOBALG.A.P. Risk Assessment on Social Practice (GRASP) has gained substantial
retailer acceptance in the past 18 months and has grown ten-fold!
In terms of livestock add-ons, an add-on was largely rolled out in the Dutch pig
sector and will be extended to poultry and veal.
Regional Report - africa
The continent of Africa has always been a strong fruit and vegetable exporter,
with fruit products from North and South Africa, and vegetable exports from East
Africa, in particular Kenya, exported mostly to Europe. GLOBALG.A.P. Certification
growth on the continent has grown steadily by 18 percent in the last 24 months.
GLOBALG.A.P. set the foundation by starting the first nation-wide localg.a.p. program
in South Africa, based on a consensus among local retailers such as Freshmark, Spar,
Massmart(Walmart), and Pick n Pay. This Fruit & Vegetable localg.a.p. SA program will
now be complemented with a SALivestockGAP program, the first of its kind worldwide.
Integrating small and local farmers into local and global supply chains has always
been a core purpose of GLOBALG.A.P. By linking the production of nutritional, safe
food to the challenge of food security, GLOBALG.A.P. is ready to join the numerous
governments and global cooperation efforts in their new investment strategy for Africa.
In 2014, GLOBALG.A.P. launched a campaign to make agriculture attractive to future
generations as well as support women in agriculture.

CORPORATE AFFAIRS
Regional Report - Asia
G.A.P. awareness training, the introduction of localg.a.p. programs, and capacity
building remain our strongest focus on the continent of Asia, with several programs
taking place in China, Japan, the Philippines, Vietnam, and South Korea.
Next to Europe, Asia is also one of our key hubs for exhibitions, events, and
industry networking.
In China, the pilot of the GLOBALG.A.P. Farm Assurer Capacity Building Program
(FA-CAP) successfully ended with 30 students being awarded the Certificate for
GLOBALG.A.P. Young Professional. The training concept and program aims to provide
G.A.P. training at university level and is part of the organization’s global strategy
to establish the GLOBALG.A.P. Farm Assurer as a universally recognized brand.
The university level program for China was developed by the FA-CAP Advisory
Committee consisting of the following public and private stakeholders:
• Carrefour (China) Management & Consulting Service Co., Ltd.
• Juye Goodfarmer Fruits & Vegetables Co., Ltd.
• China Quality Certification Centre
• SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services Co., Ltd.
• SGS Nederland BV.
• Syngenta Foundation for Sustainable Agriculture
• Yunnan Agricultural University, College of Landscape and Horticulture
• Van Hall Larenstein/ University of Wageningen
• The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
• Triglory International Co., Ltd.
In 2014, Carrefour China became the first retailer in China to be issued a
GLOBALG.A.P. Farm Assurer License, a major step forward toward raising awareness
of Good Agricultural Practices in the country. To further extend our reach, we launched
the GLOBALG.A.P. website in Chinese and now publish a quarterly Chinese newsletter,
with positive response from this growing market.
Currently GLOBALG.A.P. is also working with interested countries from the ASEAN
region to develop localg.a.p. solutions in public-private partnerships. GLOBALG.A.P.
retail members Carrefour in China and Aeon in Japan, in particular, are the strongest
drivers for the adoption of localg.a.p. and GLOBALG.A.P. programs in the region.
In 2013, GLOBALG.A.P. also had its largest TOUR stop in Japan with more than 300
delegates taking part in the one-day event.
Major progress is also taking place in the aquaculture industry in Asia, with initiatives
in South Korea, the Philippines, and Vietnam, where the first aquaculture producer
group worldwide achieved certification. This is a significant development as now the
aquaculture industry can also benefit from our experiences in Fruit and Vegetable
Group Certification.

Regional Report - south america
South America contributes over 30 percent of our overall growth, with the same
number of newly certified producers as in Europe. The continent also shows the
strongest regional growth, with a 50 percent increase in the past 24 months.
We have high expectations in the newly established localg.a.p. programs on the
continent, with the first agreements signed with local partners in Guatemala and
Argentina. Interest is also increasingly spreading in other countries in the region,
with strong support for these programs, Good Agricultural Practices training,
and capacity building measures from global players such as McDonald’s and
CropLife International and its members. And recently a donor program has been
initiated for Farm Assurer capacity building in Brazil, Argentina, and Peru.
Regional Report - North America
The North America region (US, Canada and Mexico) is managed by a dedicated
subsidiary office established in 2010. During the past 24 months, North America
has become the most dynamic growth region for GLOBALG.A.P. with a doubling of
growers under certification (+127 percent) and already contributing 8 percent to
overall growth.
This potential is expected to grow after the launch of the Produce Safety Standard
(PSS) in 2012, and most recently the Harmonized Produce Safety Standard (HPSS),
which is a food safety only certificate featuring the Harmonized Standards checklist
developed by the United Fresh Produce Association.
Both these standards are a clear response to the separation of food safety and
sustainability in the North American market. However, GLOBALG.A.P.’s holistic
approach offers the market the opportunity to complement food safety with
sustainability aspects of Good Agricultural Practices. Combined with the
organization’s strategic focus to align with different sustainability labels,
GLOBALG.A.P. fulfills all the necessary conditions to become the certification
system of choice for reducing duplication.
The tomato growers of Florida are already benefiting from this model. The United
Fresh-developed Harmonized Standard, in combination with the Tomato Metrics,
bridges the gap by simplifying the certification process for Florida tomato growers.
The adoption of the single checklist by the two auditing processes, the public
mandatory tomato audit and the ISO-accredited GLOBALG.A.P. audit, allows
now for one auditor to conduct one audit as a base for two certificates.
Creating synergies with the public and private sector to develop an effective and
efficient solution for farms makes sense. Food safety and consumer protection are
both a public and private task, and we hope to replicate this model with other
commodities as well.

Technical Committee MEMBERS at Work
Made up of industry experts from the entire supply chain, the GLOBALG.A.P. Technical Committees are responsible
for developing and defining the standard criteria, called Control Points and Compliance Criteria. They also define the
cornerstone of the rules, called GLOBALG.A.P. General Regulations, which establish clear criteria for the successful
implementation and verification of the standards. GLOBALG.A.P. has three main Technical Committees: Crops,
Livestock and Aquaculture.

The NTWG Award 2014
Honoring our most active and dedicated National Technical Working Group
GLOBALG.A.P. launched the first-ever GLOBALG.A.P. NTWG Award in 2014. This award honors our most active National Technical

NTWGs worldwide (currently 44). See complete list on our website: www.globalgap.org/ntwg
GLOBALG.A.P. members have set up National Technical Working Groups (NTWGs) in several countries to help adopt
GLOBALG.A.P.’s universal Standard on a local scale. NTWGs identify specific local adaptation and implementation challenges
and develop guidelines, known as National Interpretation Guidelines (NIG), which provide guidance to certification bodies and
producers on how best to implement GLOBALG.A.P. Control Points and Compliance Criteria at a national level.
Applications were accepted from 10 NTWGs:
• Argentina FV, LB
• Japan FV, CC, TE
• Germany FV
• Pakistan FV
• Brazil FV
• Romania FV
• Ghana FV
• Germany FO
• Costa Rica FV, FO
• The Netherlands FV
AND THE WINNER IS... NTWG Argentina FV, LB

set out in the Terms of Reference for NTWGs and beyond. NTWG Argentina has organized more than 260 meetings with the
participation of over 80 professionals. They have worked on solutions for growers to achieve certification in Argentina and
have representatives in 3 of GLOBALG.A.P.’s Committees (Crop Protection Working Group, SHC GRASP and Certification
