The Implementation of the Certification

Standards

y

EU EPGAP is one of the very fewglobally operating standardization

organizations, that enjoy a high

level of political and financialindependence from the publicsector.

To keep its independence EU EPGAPdoes not conduct the certificationprocess itself. Farmers or farmer groups

can only be certified against theEU EPG AP criteria by authorizedCertification Bodies (CB).

Currently EU EPGAP is working withover 100 CBs in more than 70 countries.

methods such as integrated pest management,integrated nutrient management andconservation agriculture.

yStill there is lot of scope to incorporate fewpractices from EUREP GAP.
