Training manual on implementing ASEANGAP in the fruit and vegetable sector: its certification and accreditation
2014
Sareen, S.
GAP refers to "practices that need to be applied on farms to ensure food safety and quality during pre-production, production, harvest and post-harvest" stages. ASEANGAP was developed in 2006 with the purpose of enhancing harmonization of national GAP programmes within the ASEAN region, enhancing the safety and quality of fruit and vegetables for consumers, ensuring the sustainability of natural resources, and facilitating the trade of fruit and vegetables regionally and internationally. Many importing countries as well as domestic buyers require that GAP implementing producers are certified. Certification is the procedure through which assurance is provided that those foods or systems implemented conform to the GAP requirements. This training manual is designed to support countries in establishing a certification scheme for ASEANGAP in line with accreditation requirements.
