Why this travels

One standard, published add-ons

GLOBALG.A.P. is a single international standard for primary production, and the add-ons are published separately because different buyers require different ones. That is why the toolkits are sold per add-on: buying the wrong combination means documenting to requirements your buyer never asked for, or missing ones they did.

Integrated Farm Assurance Version 6 for plants: food safety, traceability, worker health and safety and environmental management.
No add-ons included in this version of the toolkit.

Traceability and mass balance, which is where most GLOBALG.A.P. non-conformances are raised.
Records structured for an unannounced audit as well as a scheduled one.

Straight answer

What a toolkit does, and what it does not do

You get the documented system already written and structured to the standard: the manual, procedures, forms, registers and risk assessments. That is normally the slowest part of getting certified and the part that is identical from one site to the next.

It does not implement itself. Someone at your site still has to make the documents true, with your process steps, your hazards, your suppliers and your monitoring records. Local food law, such as labelling and permits, stays local and is yours to add.

If you would rather not do that alone, we work with teams remotely as well as on site.

Common questions

Before you buy

Which add-on do I actually need?

Whichever your buyer names. Add-ons are buyer-driven rather than optional extras you choose for yourself, so ask them before purchasing. If several buyers want different ones, the all-add-ons toolkit is cheaper than buying them separately.

Is this for crops or livestock?

This toolkit covers the plants scope. Aquaculture and livestock are separate scopes with their own requirements, and Chain of Custody is separate again.

Does it cover Chain of Custody?

No. Chain of Custody covers what happens to the product after the farm and is certified separately. We publish training for it.

We farm in a different climate and region. Does that matter?

Not to the standard. IFA sets the requirement; how you meet it reflects your crop, climate and local regulation, and the templates are editable for exactly that reason.

What language and file formats do I get?

English, as Microsoft Word documents and Excel workbooks. Nothing is a locked PDF, because a document you cannot edit is a document you cannot make true for your site.

Why is the price in South African rand?

We are a South African company and our prices are set in rand. The dollar figure shown is an indication, converted at the current rate, so you can judge the cost before checkout. The amount you pay is the rand amount.

Ask your buyer which add-on, then ask us

The add-on is the single most expensive thing to get wrong here, and it is the one detail your buyer can answer in a sentence.
