3. WHAT IS GAP
Refers to farm level approaches designed to
reduce the risk of contamination during on-

processes.
GAP bridges the gap between traditional
farming practices and market as well as the
stakeholders’ (customers) standards for
agricultural and non-agricultural products.

Language of Trade - Food Safety Assurance (RA10611). To

disease outbreaks.
Ensures Sustainability of Farmers Practices and food
supply.
Competitive Edge. Productive and globally competitive.
Market Access/Market Opportunity. Free trade marketing
but requires quality assurance program- GAP
certification.
