GAP/GHP Certification
Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and Good Handling Practices (GHP) The Maryland Department of Agriculture offers two GAP and GHP certification programs for fruit and vegetable producers and packers. The goal of both GAPs and GHPs is to reduce the risk of microbial contamination of fresh fruits and vegetables and the standards are based on the Food and Drug Administrations Guidance to Industry. There is no way to guarantee that everything we grow and consume is free of microbial contamination, however, the risk can be reduced if preventative steps are taken during production, harvest and packing of fresh fruits and vegetables on the farm and in packing houses. USDA GAP Certified: To meet the requirements of buyers for GAP certification, the farm or business must complete a successful audit of its operation conducted by MDAs Food Quality Assurance Program to determine compliance with Good Agricultural Practices and/or Good Handling Practices. The program is conducted through a cooperative agreement with USDA Agricultural Marketing Service. Successful completion of the audit and certification by USDA provides national recognition for producers to the many buyers now requiring audits for compliance to the GAP guidelines. MDA State GAP: MDAs Food Quality Assurance Program also offers a Maryland GAP program geared towards producers not required to have certification by their buyers. This program is to assist producers selling directly to consumers or in other ways not requiring audited compliance with a GAP/GHP program. Funding for this program is provided through a Specialty Crop grant from USDA and is offered to producers at no cost. Cost-share program for USDA Compliance Audits As an incentive for more farmers and packers to participate, the MDA has a cost-share program to help with the certification costs. For funds to be awarded, the USDA audit must be approved and payment verified. USDA audits are offered through the MDAs Food Quality Assurance Program through a cooperative agreement with the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service.
For questions on the above programs, please contact: Deanna Baldwin, Food Quality Assurance Program 410-841-5769 or baldwiDL@mda.state.md.us
