The different combination of company type and options allow to certify products in numerous constellations.

The company type categorizes the legal entity: there can be only a

  • producer: a legal entity cultivating the product as a single supplier

or a

  • producer group: a cooperative (a PMO) contracting single producers, who cultivate the product and supply the group

The options describe who owns and sells which product.

  • Option 1 GLOBALG.A.P. scheme standard and AMC (Approved Modified Checklists)
  • Option 3 Fully benchmarked schemes

If the single producer owns and sells the product directly to the market, then its own products are certified as option 1 or 3. The same applies for producer groups: If the group cultivates and sells its own product - a different one than the product of the cooperative - , this product is certified as option 1 or 3.


  • Option 2 GLOBALG.A.P. scheme standard and AMC (Approved Modified Checklists)
  • Option 4 Fully benchmarked schemes

If the single producer cultivates the product, but then sells it to the group who then markets the product as a producer group member, the products of this single producer are registered and accepted as option 2 or 4. This product of the group is then certified as option 2 or 4. Also the group can grow this (the same) product on its own (or rented) fields - however this cannot be registered in the GLOBALG.A.P. Database. Even thought it has to be listed in the annex of the paper certificate.
