Contractor Requirements
The Zespri GLOBALG.A.P. Contractor Program (“the Program”) is certified to the GLOBALG.A.P. standard, an integrated farm assurance program that translates consumer requirements into Good Agricultural Practice (“GAP”) and the GLOBALG.A.P Risk Assessment on Social Practice (“GRASP”).
As a registered Contractor in the Program, you are required to be inspected against the relevant GAP sections and all GRASP requirements. When you have successfully completed these requirements, you will be issued with a Compliance Assessment Verification (“CAV”).
A CAV is valid for 12 months. During this time, it is your responsibility to ensure you continue to meet all the Program requirements, even if they change. You will need to renew your CAV each year. This means you will be inspected against the Program requirements annually.
You will find a "Resources & Links" box on the right hand side of the page which will provide templates and helpful links for more information.
You will be inspected against the following requirements:
