A producer grows pears and spinach. He wants to certify the spinach, but only a part of the pears. He specifies only one PMU and argues that the non-certified pears will not form part of the GLOBALG.A.P. certification process. Is this compliant with the GLOBALG.A.P. IFA Version 4?
Correct. The producer shall specify at least two PMUs: one for the certified pears and one for the non-certified pears. The spinach does not need to be assigned to any PMU because it is 100% certified.
