ADVANTAGES;
Applying good agricultural applications helps decreasing risk in agricultural production. GLOBALGAP provides tools to objectively authenticate the best international applications in a sytematic and consistent way. It becomes possible to come to this conclusion by applying critical points and compliance criteria.
It doesn’t contain chemical, microbiologic and physical remains harmful to human health,
– It is produced without polluting the environment and harming natural balance,
– It doesn’t affect the well being of people concerned with the production or of other organisms adversely while production,

– It is an important facility for producers who want to take their places in overseas market,,

Starting GlobalG.A.P.;
– Producer and/or Producer Group application;
– Signing a contract and number assignment;
– Planning and realization of internal audit;
– Control planning and determining the time of it;
– Control

– It depends on application of all requirements stated in the document of General Rules by the producer/producer group for the certificate to be given.

See www.globalgap.org for more information about GLOBALGAP standards and for following documents:

(1) GLOBALGAP Collateral-permission and certification agreement
(2) GLOBALGAP Reproduction Material General Arrangements
(3) GLOBALGAP Critical points and compliance criteria
(4) GLOBALGAP Control List products.

– Outspreading rapidly all over the world, GLOBALGAP, which producers who want to put their products into use in overseas market should take into consideration at the present day, and which big European markets ask as a prerequisite with each passing day, is much more a flexible method of production than organic agriculture in terms of the chemicals and fertilizers used.

Because an organisation that has ISO 9001:2000 certificate can do the following:

– Apply a management system that will help improve its own performance decisively;

– Acquire an internationally known quality management system for the clients of applicant firm;

– Meet the minimum requirements to get into certain markets (some offers and agreements are reserved for firms that have ISO 9001:2000 certificate);

– Be able to lower the expenses and losses which low level quality management system is the cause of;

– Be able to improve unity impression.

ISO 14000 is a norm for environmental management system certification and a tool that provide continuation of the firm, its field of production and environmental affairs around it in the safest course by a good policy.

It relies on reducing pollution by controlling factors effecting the environment caused by the firm’s own services, products and activities.

ISO 14001 doesn’t determine the level of area performance which the firm is required to carry out; although it’s basically required in advance in light of laws concerning the environment, all firms can apply environmental management system, without considering the level of environmental pollution formed previously. The firm must pledge to perform initial environment analysis in a way of specifying important environmental effects and their actual status while certification is being conceded.

Having ISO 14001 certificate reaps the following benefits both in and out of the firm by the same tokens:
– The firm’s value increases;
– The firm’s environmental expenses become known by spending less by energy savings and the firm derives benefit as a result of the environmental investment it has made;
– Everybody working for the firm takes part actively;
– Relations with regional and local communities get promoted;
– The juncture of having ISO 14001 system collectively or as a touristic area may stimulate tourism.

Firms intending to develop environmental management system certification and ISO 14001 have to be controlled and certificated by an accredited institution of certification that run independently and in accordance with ISO 65 (EN 45011) Standards, in order to be able to use relevant marks on their labels.

As mentioned above, the status required in advance for entrance to certification system is legal conformity.Preparation of top level environmental policy documents and environmental management quality handbook, subsequently, reassessment of the system by the administration and certification of third parties alternates performance of inital stage environment analysis which is the first step.Perpetual development and updating of the system by the institute of certification brings up the rear.
