GLOBALG.A.P. and the Sustainable Rice Platform launched an exciting new partnership at the Anuga trade fair 2019. The Sustainable Rice Platform (SRP) was established in 2011 and is co-convened by the UN Environment Programme and the International Rice Research Institute. Their intention is to promote sustainability and research efficiency in the global rice trade sector.
Starting in 2020, GLOBALG.A.P. will manage the SRP Assurance Scheme and allow SRP verified farms to be registered in the GLOBALG.A.P. database.
The live launch at ANUGA 2019 also included a reception at the GLOBALG.A.P. trade fair booth, where visitors received a free sample of verified sustainable rice.
