For consumers and distributors, the GlobalGAP certificate is a guarantee that food complies with the established quality and safety levels, and that it has been prepared according to sustainability criteria, respecting the safety, hygiene and welfare of workers, the environment environment, and taking into account respect for animals. Without this guarantee, agricultural products may be hampered in some markets.
