Standard of Good Agricultural Practice
Of all the standards in the primary and secondary agricultural production of the European Union, the most important place is occupied by EUREPGAP (European Retail Product and Good Agricultural Practice). This standard prescribes production conditions, inspection mechanisms, and product certification. It is also known under the name GlobalGAP (since it has gone beyond the EU and has become a global requirement in almost all agricultural product retail chains).
GLOBALGAP is primarily created to provide information to the consumer on how a particular agricultural product is produced. The industrialization of agricultural production, the use of agents such as additives, hormones, pesticides, antibiotics, etc., has led to consumer dissatisfaction and a loss of confidence in the institutions supervising food safety in the EU.
The European Association of Distributors and Retailers (Euro-Retailer Produce Working Group – EUREP) has therefore drafted GLOBAL G.A.P documents to best protect the health of its consumers. Under the growing influence of “pollution” on agricultural production, and thus on the health of consumers today, it has imposed on traders (and therefore producers), new demands from consumers who want to know not only where the product they buy comes from, but also its health safety, which can be fully read on any product resulting from processes that are certified under GlobalGAP.
The goal of GlobalGAP is to strengthen customer confidence in terms of quality and health of agricultural and other primary products as well as reduce the negative impact on the environment by the current way of agricultural production, the safety of employees in agricultural production, and animal husbandry.
HACCP system
In the markets of the EU and the World Trade Organization, the HACCP system became binding on 1 January 2006 (Council Directive 93/43 / EEC). Simply put, the inclusion of food quality and safety standards in the general system of quality control in companies has become a condition for doing business with partners in the international market. Legislation in almost all developed countries obliges food producers in those countries to introduce the HACCP system.
Due to this, our country has accepted this concept of safe food, so that from January 1, 2009, HACCP becomes binding on the Serbian market, and companies that do not have certificates of business in accordance with this system will not be able to export and sell their products in the Republic Serbia.
In addition to the food industry, factories that produce, process, store, package, transport, or sell food, the program of mandatory implementation of the HACCP system also includes hotels and restaurants of ready-made food.
HACCP is a flexible system, it adapts to all types of products in each link of the food production, distribution, and handling chain, “from field to table”.
