China Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) Certification
The China GAP Certification allows primary agricultural producers to demonstrate they follow environmentally and socially sustainable farming methods for their products within the Chinese market.
What is China GAP?
China Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) is the application of modern knowledge to control the farm production process and to ensure the environmental, economic and social sustainability of agri products.
Agricultural producers that establish proper GAP control systems - as well as sustainable farming methods that include environmental controls, integrated pest controls, integrated nutrient management, and conservation agriculture - can demonstrate a commitment to deliver safe and healthy agricultural products to the Chinese market. GAP is a highly operable agricultural product standard management system.
China GAP is divided into species modules (crops, fruits and vegetables, beef cattle, mutton sheep, pigs, dairy cows, poultry) and base modules (farm based, crop based and livestock and poultry based).
