How to Get GLOBALG.A.P. Certification with Cotecna
Cotecna provides GLOBALG.A.P. certification services to help agricultural businesses demonstrate compliance with internationally recognized standards for good agricultural practices. This certification strengthens brand reputation and ensures product integrity throughout the farming process, from production to final delivery.
Organizations seeking GLOBALG.A.P. certification must first complete the application and contract agreement process.
Once this is finalized, Cotecna will conduct an initial certification audit or re-certification audit to verify compliance with GLOBALG.A.P. requirements. Upon successful completion, your organization will receive a GLOBALG.A.P. certificate, typically valid for up to three years. After this period, a re-certification audit is required to renew the certificate.
During the validity period, at least two surveillance audits may be conducted, ideally one each year, to ensure ongoing compliance with GLOBALG.A.P. standards.
