GLOBALG.A.P. ANNUAL REPORT 2021
INDUSTRY AND SUPPLY CHAIN STANDARDS
In addition to IFA, there is also a variety of other GLOBALG.A.P. standards for the industry and supply chains.
Chain of Custody
The GLOBALG.A.P. Chain of Custody (CoC) standard ensures that any product sold with a GLOBALG.A.P. claim or bearing a GGN label logo is truly sourced from a GLOBALG.A.P. certified production process.
The standard requirements secure the segregation, traceability, and therefore integrity of a product’s GLOBALG.A.P. certification status throughout its lifecycle from farm to consumer.

Crops for Processing (CfP) is a global standard for responsible farming practices that covers plants destined for further processing, such as freezing, juicing, precooking, or as ingredients for animal feed.
The standard considers the unique farm-level risks of crops for processing and approaches food safety in a different way from the flagship IFA standard
by eliminating the duplication of steps usually conducted by both the producer and the processor.
Compound Feed Manufacturing (CFM) is a global standard for feed mills.
It covers all stages of production, from the purchase and handling of raw materials to the processing and distribution of finished feed.
The CFM standard ensures suitable animal nutrition, safeguards feed and food safety, and sets strict requirements on the sustainability of raw materials used in production.
2021 news: The CFM Focus Group reviewed the standard and agreed that an update was required to comply with the latest legislative requirements as well as aquaculture, livestock, and feed industry needs. As a result, version 3 of the CFM standard was finalized on 15 December 2021. It features expanded environmental and social governance criteria that place a more rigorous focus on sustainability, workers’ well-being, and the responsible sourcing of critical compounds such as soy, fish meal, and fish oil. CFM v3 becomes obligatory from 15 December 2022. For more information, see our website.
The GLOBALG.A.P. Produce Handling Assurance (PHA) standard provides food safety and traceability certification specifically for postharvest activities
such as the packing and storage of crops destined for human consumption. Used in conjunction with the GLOBALG.A.P. Integrated Farm Assurance standard or the Harmonized Produce Safety Standard,
it provides a complete certification option for producers with on-farm packing or other postharvest activities.
News: In May 2021, PHA achieved renewed recognition from GFSI, having been successfully benchmarked against GFSI’s Benchmarking Requirements Version 2020.1.
The GLOBALG.A.P. Harmonized Produce Safety Standard (HPSS) is a streamlined food safety standard that includes the Produce GAP Harmonization Initiative’s Harmonized Standards verbatim.
HPSS is applicable to producers based in or selling to the United States market and is benchmarked to the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) for the primary production of fruit and vegetables.
News: In May 2021, HPSS achieved renewed recognition from GFSI, having been successfully benchmarked against GFSI’s Benchmarking Requirements Version 2020.1. The standard first completed the GFSI benchmarking process in 2016.
