From Farm to Global Markets: Expanding Access to GLOBALG.A.P. Certification in Egypt
Egypt has established itself as one of North Africa's leading agricultural exporters, supplying fresh produce and agricultural products to markets across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and beyond. As international buyers continue to place greater emphasis on food safety, traceability, sustainability, and responsible production practices, certification has become an increasingly important tool for agricultural producers seeking to compete in global markets.
To support producers in meeting these expectations, Cotecna Egypt and Suolo e Salute are pleased to make GLOBALG.A.P. certification services available to clients in Egypt and across the region.
Supporting Agricultural Excellence
This cooperation brings together the complementary strengths of both organizations.
With years of experience supporting agricultural producers, exporters, and supply chains, Cotecna Egypt understands the needs of local markets and the requirements of international trade. Supporting this offering is Suolo e Salute, one of Italy's leading certification bodies and an approved GLOBALG.A.P. certification body with decades of experience in agricultural certification and sustainability.
Together, they provide agricultural producers with access to internationally recognized certification services backed by local market knowledge and industry expertise.
Why GLOBALG.A.P. Matters
For agricultural exporters, certification is about much more than compliance.
GLOBALG.A.P. is one of the world's most widely recognized standards for Good Agricultural Practices, covering areas such as food safety, environmental stewardship, worker welfare, and traceability. Certification helps producers demonstrate compliance with internationally accepted requirements and meet the expectations of global buyers, retailers, and supply chain partners.
Through the availability of GLOBALG.A.P. certification services via Suolo e Salute and the support of Cotecna Egypt, producers can benefit from:
- Access to internationally recognized certification services
- Guidance throughout the certification process
- Local support in Egypt and across the region
- Increased credibility with buyers and retailers
- Enhanced market access opportunities
- Improved traceability and transparency
Supporting the Growth of North African Agriculture
Agriculture continues to play a vital role in Egypt's economy and export success. As demand for agricultural products continues to grow, producers are increasingly required to demonstrate compliance with internationally recognized standards.
Meeting these requirements requires partners who understand both global certification expectations and local market realities.
The cooperation between Cotecna Egypt and Suolo e Salute helps bridge this gap by making GLOBALG.A.P. certification services more accessible to agricultural producers throughout Egypt and the region.
Creating Value Together
Since joining the Cotecna Group in 2025, Suolo e Salute has further strengthened the Group's agricultural certification capabilities, expanding the expertise available to producers worldwide.

Together, Cotecna Egypt and Suolo e Salute are helping agricultural producers across Egypt and the region demonstrate quality, build trust, and access global markets with confidence.
