Two new concepts to meet the needs of our customers
Parallel Ownership
Another challenge that some GLOBALG.A.P. certified producers face is when they had sign a contract to supply a predefined quantity of a product but don’t produce enough of this product to fulfill the contract. Under IFA Version 3, it wasn’t possible to source non-certified products and remain a certified producer, even if the final costumer didn't require GLOBALG.A.P. Certification.
The introduction of the Parallel Ownership concept now permits producers to also buy products of a non-certified origin.
Parallel Ownership
A case in which a producer who produces a product in a GLOBALG.A.P. certified production process buys the same product from a non-certified source.
