Ensuring integrity from farm to fork: the vital role of GlobalG.A.P. Chain of Custody! In the realm of agriculture, trust is not just a word—it's a promise. The GlobalG.A.P. Chain of Custody (CoC) standard is the guardian of this promise, ensuring that the food on your plate is safe, sustainable, and traceable back to its source. The CoC standard is a testament to transparency, safeguarding the segregation and traceability of products originating from GlobalG.A.P. certified farms. By embracing the GlobalG.A.P. CoC standard, businesses ensure that every product bearing the GlobalG.A.P. number or claim is genuinely sourced from certified processes. This rigorous standard is our shield against food fraud, our strategy for risk management, and our path to a resilient food supply chain. Let's cultivate confidence in our food systems. Let's choose integrity with every meal. 🌱 Learn More About GlobalG.A.P. CoC> https://dnv.social/5jd #Foodsafety #globalgap #Compliace

The new regulations to promote fairness and transparency for the dairy sector are due to be laid before Parliament today. The consultation process for the legislation started back in 2020 and the new regulations will be welcomed by those in the sector. The regulations will: Provide clearer pricing terms. Contracts will now set out the factors which will generate the price payable for the milk price. Prevent unilateral changes to the contracts without both parties’ consent. This will encourage the parties to discuss required changes and agree how the changes are to be implemented. Farmers’ contracts will all include a straightforward way to raise concerns about their contracts, promoting accountability and timely issue resolution. Set out clear rules on notice periods and exclusivity. This will protect the rights of both parties and remove any ambiguity from contracts which have in the past led to disputes. Provide for an enforcement mechanism to be created to guarantee the regulations are followed, ensuring a fair and transparent dairy industry based on a solid foundation to enable it to thrive in the future. I will post an article with further guidance on the regulations this week with guidance on the changes required to milk supply contracts to ensure compliance.
