GLOBALG.A.P.The Global Partnership for Safe & Sustainable Agriculture

G.A.P. stAnds for Good AGriculturAl PrActices And GloBAlG.A.P. is the worldwide stAndArd thAt Assures it.

Were a global organization with a crucial objective: safe, sustainable agriculture worldwide. We set voluntary standards for the certification of agricultural products around the globeand more and more producers, suppliers and buyers are harmonizing their certification standards to match.

OUR PURPOSE

GLOBALG.A.P. members create private sector incentives for agricultural producers worldwide to adopt safe and sustainable practices to make this world a better place to live for our children.

OUR MISSION

Globally connecting farmers and brand owners in the production and marketing of safe food to provide reassurance for consumers. We lay the foundation for the protection of scarce resources by the implementation of Good Agricultural Practices with a promise for a sustainable future.

CORPORATE AFFAIRS 3

2014 is all about collaboration. The seeds we cultivated in 2013 have made us a strong partner on many fronts. GLOBALG.A.P. has clearly established itself as a global solution for farm assurance applicable to all farm sizes, with no ambition to compete with consumer-facing labels, downstream supply chain partners, or government audit systems.

GLOBALG.A.P. extends its partnership to other global and local systems and market players seeking efficient and effective mainstream solutions for a secure and sustainable future to feed the planet. We offer a clear focus on food safety paired with other significant elements of Good Agricultural Practices, a transparent and robust integrity system equipped with an increasing flexibility to respond to market requirements, and modular and customized solutions for certification, farm assessments, and capacity building.

Guy CallebautVice-Chairman of the Board VBT/BelOrta, GrowerGLOBALG.A.P. Chairman of the Board

Kristian MoellerGLOBALG.A.P. CEO and Secretary

The family farm continues to be a core focus of our strategies toward developing solutions to address food safety, food security, and social and environmental sustainability. By helping growers implement Good Agricultural Practices we can generate the required effects on the ground to enable small-scale farmers meet retail and manufacturer markets. And we gain the recognition of large customers aiming to meet their consumers demands.

However, we need and must work on new approaches that will make it easier, more cost effective, and more attractive for farmers worldwide to adopt safe and sustainable production practices. GLOBALG.A.P. is playing its role in bringing together the relevant partners in 2014. Our industry solutions and collaboration efforts are more than ever driven by our conviction that Good Agricultural Practices can play a key role in increasing yields and reducing the environmental impact of farming at a global scale.

Board eleCtion ProCeSS & ruleS

GLOBALG.A.P. is rather unique among farm assurance schemes worldwide. Every four years its members elect its highest member governance by secret ballot. The Board consists of an equal number of retail and supplier representatives, reflecting

the supply chain partnership.

1. The election process took place from 25 march 2013 to 12 April 2013.

2. Two separate elections were held during the election process, one for supplier members and one for retailer/food service members.

3. Each member company was allowed to submit only one online ballot.

4. Each member company was allowed to cast a vote for 1, 2 or maximum 3 candidates. Candidates were allowed to vote for themselves.

5. Candidates were elected by highest number of votes. Two of the five supplier seats were reserved for a Livestock and Aquaculture candidate with the highest number of votes.

KPMG Germany, GLOBALG.A.P.s external financial auditors

who independently supervised and counted the votes, received ballots from 83 supplier member companies and 27 retailer member companies. On 23 April 2013, the new board members were announced. GLOBALG.A.P. members elected ten retail and producer/supplier representatives to serve on the GLOBALG.A.P. Board for the 2013-2017 term. On 19 June 2013, the newly elected Board appointed Guy Callebaut as new Chairman and Jim Jefcoate as Vice-Chairman for a 4-year term.

Guy Callebaut brings 30 years of extensive producer experience to his role as Chairman. His expertise covers active farming, cooperative marketingboth national and internationaland the fruit and vegetable producer cooperatives in Belgium.

Jim Jefcoate is Group Technical director at iPL and has been a member of the Board since 2011 as a retailer representative. He received his mandate from Asda, one of the uks largest supermarket groups, and from Walmart headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas in the uS, which owns Asda and iPL.

The GLOBALG.A.P. Board determines and governs all strategy and policy resolutions, which the GLOBALG.A.P. management then executes. With the support of the Secretariat and taking into account the technical advice from the respective GLOBALG.A.P. technical and stakeholder committees, the GLOBALG.A.P. Board designs the standard setting process, adopts standards and rules, and provides the legal framework for regulating the certification bodies. The outgoing board (2008-2012) had revised and approved new Terms of Reference for governance, setting the foundation for the Board election process. The first task of the new

Board was to develop and adopt a detailed business and marketing plan as well as define transparent internal and external reporting procedures.

I am a grower first and foremost. Ive been GLOBALG.A.P. certified for more than 10 years and so have experienced first-hand the valuable benefits of being part of such an extensive and strong international system. i am delighted to serve this unique global partnership between growers and retailers as Chairman. it is a great opportunity to highlight and strengthen the benefits for farmers participating in GLOBALG.A.P. around the world.

Guy Callebaut, New GLOBALG.A.P. Chairman of the Board

The Boards mission is simple yet challenging. it captures where we should be aiming as the worlds leading standard and service provider for Good Agricultural Practices. Sustainability and particularly chain of custody will become increasingly important issues in the next Boards term. The rise in consumer demand for safe and sustainably produced food has posed a big challenge for retailers and buyers of all sizes. i am convinced that cutting-edge communication technology will provide the necessary iT solutions to deliver transparency and integrity along the entire supply chain.

regional rePort - euroPeEurope remains GLOBALG.A.P.s strongest market, both in the number of certified growers and the recognition among food buyers. With the support of our retail members, we have expanded into the central eastern European region in 2013. And we have strengthened our brand by expanding our services to become a business-integrated solution for risk management.

Our GLOBALG.A.P. database Bookmarking system for producer and supplier monitoring is progressively gaining market-wide acceptance, with customer-side system integration projects in various implementation phases currently in progress.

The revision and adoption of the GLOBALG.A.P. Chain of Custody Standard Version 5 provides added traceability at all stages of the supply chain.

In aquaculture certification, we have expanded our list of certifiable species to include

European aquaculture species. We also continue to work with consumer label programs to produce an integrated and efficient response and solution to increasing consumer

demands for responsibly farmed seafood.

The range and impact of our GLOBALG.A.P.+ Add-On products is also growing.The GLOBALG.A.P. risk Assessment on Social Practice (GrASP) has gained substantial retailer acceptance in the past 18 months and has grown ten-fold!

in terms of livestock add-ons, an add-on was largely rolled out in the dutch pig sector and will be extended to poultry and veal.

regional rePort - aFriCaThe continent of Africa has always been a strong fruit and vegetable exporter, with fruit products from north and South Africa, and vegetable exports from East Africa, in particular Kenya, exported mostly to Europe. GLOBALG.A.P. Certification

growth on the continent has grown steadily by 18 percent in the last 24 months.

GLOBALG.A.P. set the foundation by starting the first nation-wide localg.a.p. program

in South Africa, based on a consensus among local retailers such as Freshmark, Spar, massmart(Walmart), and Pick n Pay. This Fruit & Vegetable localg.a.p. SA program will now be complemented with a SALivestockGAP program, the first of its kind worldwide.

integrating small and local farmers into local and global supply chains has always been a core purpose of GLOBALG.A.P. By linking the production of nutritional, safe food to the challenge of food security, GLOBALG.A.P. is ready to join the numerous governments and global cooperation efforts in their new investment strategy for Africa. in 2014, GLOBALG.A.P. launched a campaign to make agriculture attractive to future generations as well as support women in agriculture.

regional rePort - aSiaG.A.P. awareness training, the introduction of localg.a.p. programs, and capacity building remain our strongest focus on the continent of Asia, with several programs taking place in China, Japan, the Philippines, Vietnam, and South korea. next to Europe, Asia is also one of our key hubs for exhibitions, events, and industry networking.

in China, the pilot of the GLOBALG.A.P. Farm Assurer Capacity Building Program (FA-CAP) successfully ended with 30 students being awarded the Certificate for GLOBALG.A.P. young Professional. The training concept and program aims to provide G.A.P. training at university level and is part of the organizations global strategy to establish the GLOBALG.A.P. Farm Assurer as a universally recognized brand. The university level program for China was developed by the FA-CAP Advisory Committee consisting of the following public and private stakeholders:

Carrefour (China) management & Consulting Service Co., Ltd. Juye Goodfarmer Fruits & Vegetables Co., Ltd. China Quality Certification Centre

SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services Co., Ltd. SGS nederland BV. Syngenta Foundation for Sustainable Agriculture yunnan Agricultural university, College of Landscape and Horticulture Van Hall Larenstein/ university of Wageningen The Hong kong Polytechnic university Triglory international Co., Ltd.

In 2014, Carrefour China became the first retailer in China to be issued a GLOBALG.A.P. Farm Assurer License, a major step forward toward raising awareness of Good Agricultural Practices in the country. To further extend our reach, we launched the GLOBALG.A.P. website in Chinese and now publish a quarterly Chinese newsletter, with positive response from this growing market.

Currently GLOBALG.A.P. is also working with interested countries from the ASEAn region to develop localg.a.p. solutions in public-private partnerships. GLOBALG.A.P. retail members Carrefour in China and Aeon in Japan, in particular, are the strongest drivers for the adoption of localg.a.p. and GLOBALG.A.P. programs in the region.

in 2013, GLOBALG.A.P. also had its largest TOur stop in Japan with more than 300 delegates taking part in the one-day event.

major progress is also taking place in the aquaculture industry in Asia, with initiatives in South Korea, the Philippines, and Vietnam, where the first aquaculture producer

group worldwide achieved certification. This is a significant development as now the aquaculture industry can also benefit from our experiences in Fruit and Vegetable

Group Certification.

10 CORPORATE AFFAIRS

South America contributes over 30 percent of our overall growth, with the same number of newly certified producers as in Europe. The continent also shows the strongest regional growth, with a 50 percent increase in the past 24 months.

We have high expectations in the newly established localg.a.p. programs on the continent, with the first agreements signed with local partners in Guatemala and Argentina. interest is also increasingly spreading in other countries in the region, with strong support for these programs, Good Agricultural Practices training, and capacity building measures from global players such as mcdonalds and CropLife international and its members. And recently a donor program has been initiated for Farm Assurer capacity building in Brazil, Argentina, and Peru.

The north America region (uS, Canada and mexico) is managed by a dedicated subsidiary office established in 2010. During the past 24 months, North America has become the most dynamic growth region for GLOBALG.A.P. with a doubling of growers under certification (+127 percent) and already contributing 8 percent to overall growth.

This potential is expected to grow after the launch of the Produce Safety Standard (PSS) in 2012, and most recently the Harmonized Produce Safety Standard (HPSS), which is a food safety only certificate featuring the Harmonized Standards checklist

developed by the united Fresh Produce Association. Both these standards are a clear response to the separation of food safety and sustainability in the north American market. However, GLOBALG.A.P.s holistic approach offers the market the opportunity to complement food safety with sustainability aspects of Good Agricultural Practices. Combined with the organizations strategic focus to align with different sustainability labels, GLOBALG.A.P. fulfills all the necessary conditions to become the certification system of choice for reducing duplication.

The tomato growers of Florida are already benefiting from this model. The United

Fresh-developed Harmonized Standard, in combination with the Tomato metrics, bridges the gap by simplifying the certification process for Florida tomato growers.

The adoption of the single checklist by the two auditing processes, the public mandatory tomato audit and the iSO-accredited GLOBALG.A.P. audit, allows now for one auditor to conduct one audit as a base for two certificates.

Creating synergies with the public and private sector to develop an effective and efficient solution for farms makes sense. Food safety and consumer protection are both a public and private task, and we hope to replicate this model with other commodities as well.

GLOBALG.A.P. launched the first-ever GLOBALG.A.P. NTWG Award in 2014. This award honors our most active National Technical

Working Group for its hard work, commitment and dedication. The nTWG Award 2014 was open to all established GLOBALG.A.P. nTWGs worldwide (currently 44). See complete list on our website: www.globalgap.org/ntwg

GLOBALG.A.P. members have set up national Technical Working Groups (nTWGs) in several countries to help adopt GLOBALG.A.P.s universal Standard on a local scale. NTWGs identify specific local adaptation and implementation challenges and develop guidelines, known as National Interpretation Guidelines (NIG), which provide guidance to certification bodies and

producers on how best to implement GLOBALG.A.P. Control Points and Compliance Criteria at a national level.

NTWG Argentina, hosted by IRAM, has been very active and dedicated for more than 10 years and has fulfilled the tasks set out in the Terms of reference for nTWGs and beyond. nTWG Argentina has organized more than 260 meetings with the participation of over 80 professionals. They have worked on solutions for growers to achieve certification in Argentina and have representatives in 3 of GLOBALG.A.P.s Committees (Crop Protection Working Group, SHC GRASP and Certification Body Committee - Latin America). NTWG Argentina is a highly committed group of around 80 people who firmly believe in

GLOBALG.A.P.s objectives and, in particular, production quality and safety as well as social and environmental sustainability.

The Sustainable meat initiative (Smi) of the dutch retail for pork production is a great example of how stakeholders can unite to develop solutions that serve the entire industry. Pig producers, slaughterhouses, meat processors, food service providers, and retailers working together with consumer representatives and NGOs collaborated and finally agreed on additional requirements for all pork meat sold in dutch supermarkets starting in 2015. The pork supply chain partners agreed to establish three voluntary add-on modules:

module 1: Animal Health & responsible use of Antibiotics module 2: Animal Welfare module 3: Environment and Sustainability.

As a GLOBALG.A.P. prerequisite for the management of Smi and after the successful benchmarking of ikB Varkens, the IKB certified pig producers of The Netherlands were registered in the GLOBALG.A.P. database and were allocated each a GLOBALG.A.P. number. Smi criteria are audited on top of GLOBALG.A.P.s integrated Farm Assurance Standard (iFA) and the dutch ikB System.

Independent certification bodies will annually audit compliance

with the requirements at the participating farms. GLOBALG.A.P.s Certification Integrity Program (CIPRO) is part of the initiative

and will verify the certification bodies decisions through additional monitoring and control.

Transparency throughout the supply chain guarantees the integrity of your product and reassures your customers. The GLOBALG.A.P. Chain of Custody Standard (CoC) is an essential add-on for all producers and retailers handling GLOBALG.A.P. certified products. It ensures that any product

sold as a GLOBALG.A.P. certified product is sourced from

GLOBALG.A.P. certified farms.

The GLOBALG.A.P. Chain of Custody Standard guarantees the traceability, transparency and integrity of your product throughout its entire lifecycle, from the farm to the market shelf. It identifies the status of your product throughout the entire supply chain and lays out strict requirements for handling certified products and the proper segregation of certified and non-certified produce. The backbone of the system is the GLOBALG.A.P. Number (GGN) that identifies the certified producer or the CoC certified company.

GLOBALG.A.P. Bookmark Sharing lets you share your bookmarking lists with selected business partners throughout the supply chain. As these lists are online, the certification status and information is

always up to date.

GLOBALG.A.P. Bookmarking is a timesaving tool that lets you generate lists of your pool of certified suppliers. It makes it easy to manage and monitor the certification status of your

GLOBALG.A.P. certified producers on a regular basis.

Access to list viaBookmark Sharing

With the revision of the standard started in 2013, the GLOBALG.A.P. Chain of Custody Standard is now available for a wide range of GLOBALG.A.P. certified aquaculture, livestock and crops products. in 2014, the 30-day public consultation period took place, allowing stakeholders to submit their comments on the draft of the new Chain of Custody V5 Standard.

This is a momentous day in my career as a veterinarian. Weve been talking about quality assurance and veterinarians on farms for at least 15 years. its a long time ago that we started and i think this is the day when the tree has grown and perhaps we can start picking the fruits.

i congratulate GLOBALG.A.P. for coming to South Africa. im sure its going to be the beginning of a new impetus in quality assurance on farm and veterinary involvement. Thank you!

GLOBALG.A.P. forced us to standardize our business and bring it up to a certain level. Were spread out over four different farms and different grain areas with different weather climates. Standardizing all the principles actually benefited us in making farming a lot easier for us.

By having all the controls and checks in place, we can monitor all our inputs and make sure we maintain a certain level across the board. We were probably one of the first farms that got

GLOBALG.A.P. certified in South Africa and we are reaping the rewards now.

localg.a.p. is definitely very important for food safety, for our local

farmers, and especially our small-scale farmers. We want to help

them implement good agricultural practices so they can go on and

do sustainable agriculture and ensure food safety.

Since december 2013, GrASP can also be assessed in countries without a national interpretation Guideline (niG). In this case, the certification body must apply for an exception

where it can demonstrate that the auditor/inspector has additional qualifications.

With the new GrASP General regulations Version 1.2, certification bodies need an In-House Trainer for GRASP. This has replaced the GrASP Training for Auditors.

All GrASP Observer Companies (companies with access to GrASP results) are published on the GLOBALG.A.P. website.

List of all GrASP niGs: Argentina**, Austria, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa rica**, Germany**, Greece**, Hungary**, israel, italy, kenya, madagascar**, mexico, morocco, The netherlands**, Pakistan, Spain, South Africa, uruguay, uSA, and Vietnam.

**New in 2013-2014

Human respect is fundamental for our company. By adopting GrASP, we have a responsible approach for addressing the important social issues that all producers face. GrASP greatly contributes to raising social awareness at farm level and enhancing the confidence and well-being of our workers. It benefits everyone who works on our farms.

The Farm Assurer program was restructured in 2013. in the process, we defined and established a minimum set of knowledge and experiential requirements for all Farm Assurers working as consultants. To update the knowledge base of our network of Farm Assurers, we created Farm Assurer Workshops, featuring tailored learning both in the classroom and on the farm. We also introduced a new identification

system for licensed Farm Assurers, who now receive specific ID

numbers, ID cards and certificates. Among the benefits of the

program, Farm Assurers have access to our Farm Assurer
