SwissGAP Fruit, Vegetables and Potatoes has successfully finalized the benchmark procedure with EurepGAP.

Over 8,000 producers of fruit, vegetables, potatoes, flower and plants are member of SwissGAP covering the major part of these products within the Swiss market.

SwissGAP includes all the EurepGAP as well as the national legal requirements for the other major Swiss programs such as water protection, ecological activities, etc.

SwissGAP makes it possible for the farmers to have a one stop control at production level and uses a single centralized database, together with the other market partners.

SwissGAP has been developed as a joint venture between the different organizations of producers, packers, importers and retailers active in the Swiss market.

The SwissGAP certification scheme for flowers and plants is expected to achieve the same recognition in due course.
