13 Structure of farm management required by JGAP Step 1 : Governance in farm / clarification of responsibility, the division of the roles / the directions and orders Step 2 : Risk analysis and Assess production environment Site / water / soil / facility / machinery and so on Step 3 : Rule making and clarify the process and procedure Step 4 : keep everyone informed about rule and procedure, and educate employee to follow them Step 5 : Record recording, checking, and assessment of farming processes and employee following rules 13

19 GLOBALG.A.P. control point & compliance criteria GLOBALGAP is the common standard of GAP in especially EU area. EU retailer produce working group developed its standard Originally. Most of major retailer use its standard to procure fresh produce. But they does not use it for rice & grain, animal product and tea

20 JGAP certification is the gateway for all requirement from buyer-side! JGAP Japanese version English version Chinese version Farm and farmers group JGAP certified farm Guideline for JGAP Certified Producers aiming at GLOBALG.A.P. Certification GLOBALGAP certified farm Buyer who require GLOBALGAP cert. JGAP Tokyo Taiwan Hong Kong office GFSI recognized in future Majority of buyer in Japan and other country Buyer who has unusual requirement Support document Public requirement For example USA/FDA, Food Safety Modernization Act Support document 20 Buyer in USA

21 JGAP and GLOBALG.A.P. This guideline helps JGAP certified producer to get GLOBALG.A.P. certification, as needed. You can find it at GLOBALG.A.P. website. 21

22 JGAP Implementation Case study : Kiwi fruit One brand, from several countries, from several areas, from several farmers cooperative, from more than 1,000 farmers. How do you manage the product quality and food safety on this situation? 22

23 JGAP Implementation Case study : Tea beverage Global beverage company has own supplier code of practice. This include food safety, sustainability, worker safety and human rights and ethics. Global head quarter gave local branch the strict order to follow their code for all ingredient within 2 years. How do you achieve and overcome this order? 23

24 JGAP application case Own standard For procurement JGAP standard JGAP certification = + Differences Between Own standard and JGAP Compare own standard to JGAP, and develop document about differences to apply additionally. There are JGAP trainer in Japan, Taiwan, Korea and Thai. There are JGAP standard document in Japanese, English and Chinese. It is easy for farm to implement JGAP. And then, farm implement only differences additionally. Combination of JGAP third party certification and second party certification for own standard using document about differences.

25 JGAP labeling for B to C Raw Material JGAP mark that farm and farmers group Use. Certified farm and farmers group use on the product such as vegetable, fruit, brown rice, polished rice and raw green tea. Factory must have ISO22000 or FSSC22000 certification JGAP mark that food maker use. Food maker use on the grocery such as polished rice, frozen vegetable, fruit juice and tea beverage, those should be made by raw material from certified farm and farmers group.

26 Individual certification and Group cettification Leader of farmer group JGAP Quality Management System of group JA など団体事務局 農家ごとにバラバラの品質管理では 良い産地とは言えない Individual certification Inspect one farm to evaluate compliance to JGAP standard Group certification Audit farmer group to evaluate compliance to JGAP standard, under quality management system of farmer group. 26

27 Audit timing and certification validity Certificate issued on 15 Aug 2014 (for example) 2 Year Validity Certificate renewed on 15 Aug 2016 First inspection Once Surveillance during 1 certification validity. CB can decide the timing of surveillance to farm. Second Inspection When is the best timing to audit the farm? It depends on the farm Well Manage, Less Audit! CB can skip surveillance" under below condition. Farm fully comply with the level of certificate without need of remedy at the day of the inspection. And CB can confirm that the farm will be managed very well without surveillance. 27

28 JGAP Benchmarked Equivalent Standards Example: T-GAP, this is localgap used in Sizuoka Japan JGAP Confirmed JGAP Benchmarked Equivalency by defind process includes peer review. TGAP+J Very easy. No duplication. T-GAP+J Audit JGAP Certification Body Issue JGAP Certification +J means difference between JGAP and T-GAP. T-GAP farm try +J part additionally, and apply to JGAP certification body. And then the farm can get JGAP certificate. 28
