GAP/GHP Certification
Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and Good Handling Practices (GHP) audits focus on best agricultural practices to verify that fruits and vegetables are produced, packed, handled, and stored in the safest manner possible to minimize risks of microbial food safety hazards.
Most food distributors require a third-party audit to show compliance with industry standards. GSS Group can help farmers get certified with minimum hassle. We also offer training courses for those wanting to learn how to certify themselves.
