ChinaGAP has completed its benchmarking against worldwide production quality standard GlobalGAP.

Dr Kristian Moeller, secretary of GlobalGAP, said: “This is an important milestone in the collaboration of GlobalGAP with the People’s Republic of China in promoting good agricultural practice. This announcement means that Chinese producers will be able to benefit from the rigour and worldwide acceptance of the GlobalGAP certification system, while using the nationally supported ChinaGAP scheme.”

Wang Daning, deputy chief administrator of certification and accreditation administration of the People’s Republic of China, said: “We are delighted to have reached this important point in our partnership with GlobalGAP. ChinaGAP has two levels - first, an entry level to encourage early adoption of good agricultural practices and their certification, and a higher level where producers can receive the GlobalGAP equivalence mark.”
