Implementing GlobalG.A.P. Aquaculture Standard
Globally recognized certification for safe, sustainable aquaculture
Ensuring sustainable, quality seafood production worldwide
The GLOBALG.A.P. Aquaculture Standard is an international set of standards covering the entire seafood production supply chain. Recognized by more than 100 countries and the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), GLOBALG.A.P. provides guidance on sustainable production, worker health and safety, and product quality, enabling organizations to keep pace with growing consumer and retailer demand for high-quality, high-welfare seafood. The standard also demonstrates to consumers and retailers that you’re committed to safe, sustainable food production, and can therefore help you break into new markets.
