Member Spotlight: CCOF

Why is GLOBALG.A.P. membership important to you?
CCOF leverages our GLOBALG.A.P. membership for key benefits imperative to our success. The three-hour one-on-one training has been invaluable in helping us navigate the myriad of changes affecting our compliance with database and regulatory requirements. Co-exhibiting opportunities will be increasingly important as the world opens back up and trade shows move offline. CCOF also likes to partner with GLOBALG.A.P. to hold trainings at our office and we look forward to continuing that tradition in the coming years.
