23 GFSI Tools for Change In a Nutshell 1. For small businesses and because of limited size, technical expertise, economic resources and/or the nature of their work, certification would be unattainable. 2. GFSI has developed a solution for them: The Global Markets Programme as The pathway to market access and certification 3. The GFSI Global Markets Programme is a voluntary, free access system designed as an unaccredited, non-certification assessment process. 4. It considers both primary production in the field and manufacturing in the factory and concentrates on building capacity. 23

Considering both primary production and manufacturing. A system for mutual acceptance at this entrance level. Unaccredited, so not a scheme or a standard. Capacity building in food safety is achieved. Facilitated access to local markets. 26
