GLOBALGAP principles and standards, agricultural production of food, chemical, physical and microbiological residues harmful to human health does not contain, production is done without polluting the environment and harm to the natural balance, production activities do not adversely affect people and other living beings, is designed to prove that it is done properly.

GLOBALGAP principlesproduced products, has the chance to be a priority in the country's export markets. It is a guarantee that the product is reliable and high quality. Therefore, the manufacturing companies have a competitive advantage.

GLOBALGAP The basic principles of the System can be summarized as follows:

  • To achieve high quality in agricultural food production
  • Pay attention to environmental conditions during production activities
  • Avoiding activities that will harm the ecological balance and harm the nature
  • Ensuring the most efficient use of natural resources
  • Increasing productivity in agricultural production
  • Improving the quality of life of producers, people and society in general
  • Combining traditional agricultural methods with the technological opportunities used today

The GLOBALGAP System, on the other hand, complies with the following principles for food safety in order to implement the basic principles described above:

  • The GLOBALGAP standard is based on the HACCP Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points System standard. Although the HACCP standard is not in practice today, since the HACCP standard is the basis of the current ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System, the GLOBALGAP standard and the ISO 22000 standard have the same principles.
  • The GLOBALGAP standard also complies with the principles of integrated struggle. Integrated pest management, also known as Integrated Pest Management (IPM) technique, can be referred to as agricultural pest control system.
  • The GLOBALGAP standard also uses the Integrated Crop Management (ICM) technique.

These principles and principles of GLOBALGAP System Good Agricultural PracticesIt reveals the following features:

  • A system that improves the quality of life of people and society in general
  • An economically efficient and profitable system
  • A system that gives importance to human health in terms of health
  • A system that protects nature and ecological balance in terms of environment

GLOBALGAP The standards of management systems on which the System is based and show parallelism are as follows:

  • HACCP Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points System standard in terms of food safety and quality (ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System standard)
  • ISO 9001 Quality Management System standard for food safety and quality
  • ISO 14001 Environmental Management System standard for environmental management
  • OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System standard in terms of occupational health and safety

The TÜRCERT certification agency conducts agricultural product certification studies as well as various management systems certification studies. Organizations that require more information about the basic principles of the GLOBALGAP System or who wish to obtain a GLOBALGAP Certificate should not waste time applying to the experienced managers and employees of the TÜRCERT certification body.
