Watch an online video message from EUREPGAP Secretary Dr. Kristian Moeller explaining what is new in the new standard version. He is addressing all users of the standard and shares the achievements made during the last years.

Thanks for the update NY. Are you familiar with the standard? I know nothing about it. I wondered how 'global' EUREPGAP is, number of users etc.?

Regards,
Simon

Simon,

EurepGAP is the primary production standard which will be enforced by the EU retailers. I know from my clients that retailers ask for the certification, e.g. Sainsbury, Tesco (with Tesco Nature Choice certification), Asda, Safeway, Waitrose (with LEAF certification), Flamingo, etc. It looks like BRC or IFS certificate requested from Retailers.

Audit can be obtained into 2 options based on EurepGAP standard (Individual grower and Group Certification) and other 2 Options based on Benchmarked EurepGAP scheme (for both Individual and group).

If anyone would like to know it more detial, please ask me directly at narongchai_y@yahoo.com

Dear Narongchai,

Interesting standard and products.
I wonder how many people on this forum knew about "green coffee", I certainly didn't. It is apparently a vast array of sub-species, eg - http://www.sweetmari...offee.mvc.shtml .

I would certainly like to try the Sulawesi Goo Goo Muck !

Sorry, couldn't resist the OT.
