in Fruit and Vegetables, Integrated Farm Assurance
One year after starting the process to develop ChinaGAP on the basis of EurepGAP, the CNCA Vice-chairman Cheng Fang signed a second Memorandum of Understanding with Kristian Moeller, Secretary EurepGAP, on 12 April 2006 in Beijing. This agreement will initiate the formal benchmarking procedure and covers the rules on the surveillance of ChinaGAP after achieving full recognition.

CNCA, The Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People’s Republic of China, has published the ChinaGAP code, rules and training documents and will start with first pilot certification activities in 14 provinces of China.
