With the aim to safeguard the reliability and consistency of the GLOBALG.A.P. certification system and maintain stakeholder trust, the Agraya Integrity Program carried out more than 440 days of assessments across 48 countries in 2025.
Agraya Integrity Program: New name, same purpose
Originally founded in 2008 as the first of its kind in food certification, the GLOBALG.A.P. Integrity Program was designed to oversee the consistent delivery and implementation of our certification worldwide. Following the transition of our corporate umbrella to Agraya in 2025, the program was renamed to the Agraya Integrity Program to more accurately reflect the scope of its work across our brands. The program’s activities remain unchanged.
The essential role of the program
With more than 190,000 producers under GLOBALG.A.P. certification worldwide, Agraya is determined to uphold the quality, transparency, and continuous improvement at the heart of our solutions.
For producers, the program supports a fair audit process by monitoring and evaluating certification body (CB) competence in the field. This includes assessments that CBs are conducting audits in line with GLOBALG.A.P. normative documents and verifies that the same criteria and quality standards are applied consistently and impartially.
For retailers, the program monitors certification claims, investigates complaints, and provides transparency on certificate validity through both targeted and random CB office and producer assessments.
For CBs, the program monitors the entire range of processes across our global network, from registration to training to certification, including the consistent implementation of GLOBALG.A.P. standards and add-ons at farm level.
