BV Thailand officially recognised as a Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) auditor

Mar. 16 2022

Bureau Veritas Thailand is proud to be recognised as a Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) auditor after passing the stringent requirements of the ISO/IEC 17065:2012 Conformity Assessment by the National Bureau of Agricultural Commodity and Food Standards (ACFS) - a governmental agency under the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives.

For food producers today, there is a constant challenge to grow safe, healthy products in a responsible way. New pressures from consumers, retailers and legislation have placed new demands on farmers and growers. They are increasingly required to use production techniques that reduce the impact of farming on the environment and make efficient use of natural resources, while safeguarding the welfare of both workers, farm animals and sea life. Being able to show a commitment to good agricultural/aquaculture practices has become essential for accessing the market.

With our strong commitment to shaping a world of trust, we will play our part in ensuring that food producers in Thailand meet the GAP standards where food products are produced sustainably, safely and of the highest quality while respecting the workers, the environment and animal welfare.
