GLOBALG.A.P. Remote this is the answer to the COVID-19 crisis. It caused lockdowns and social distance measures that interfere with traditional inspections. Some countries have already lifted restrictions. The GLOBALG.A.P. Remote option is helping those producers, which still heavily affectes by COVID-19 and have travel restrictions in their regions.



How was it implemented

Before publishing, to ensure that the product created suitable and could be implemented quickly, GLOBALG.A.P. Remote underwent an accelerated consultation phase. A series of webinars has been organized on this topic to aid certification bodies implement the remote option.



The remote option has been adopted in short time. The first certificates have been issued in Europe, Asia, and South America after the remote inspections, which were held from May 15 to June 16. A total of 13 different certification bodies were involved in 22 remote inspections, covering 466 producers and a variety of GLOBALG.A.P. products - the Integrated Farm Assurance standard for Fruit and Vegetables, the GRASP add-on, and the Chain of Custody standard in version 6.



What to expect in the future

Until there are lockdowns in place, the GLOBALG.A.P. Remote will remain an option for producers and certification bodies. GLOBALG.A.P. is finding solutions to support its producers, certification bodies, and retail/supplier members during this indefinite period.



In addition, a free public webinar on the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on GLOBALG.A.P. certification options and procedures was published. It provides an overview of the existing emergency procedures and the new Remote option of GLOBALG.A.P.
