GLOBALG.A.P. is a brand of smart farm assurance solutions comprising more than 20 standards for safe and responsible production processes in agriculture, aquaculture, and floriculture. Based on a robust third-party certification system, our holistic approach to certification is developed through extensive collaboration with sector experts and now counts more than 200,000 producers in over 130 countries.

A GLOBALG.A.P. Number (GGN) is a unique 13-digit identification number given to every producer or producer group registered for certification. When the production process on the farm is successfully certified, the producer can print this number on product packaging for traceability in the supply chain. The number identifies where and by whom the product was produced, and buyers can use it to verify their suppliers in the GLOBALG.A.P. IT systems.

Retailers and buyers across the globe require standards that promote safe, socially and environmentally responsible production processes. GLOBALG.A.P. certification is one of the most widely implemented and internationally recognized certification systems worldwide. Our smart farm assurance solutions open the door to local, regional, and global markets for a wide range of producers and supply chain stakeholders while advancing our vision for safer and more sustainable farming practices worldwide.
