Agricultural Standards Book

Preface. Nowadays, agricultural products are shipped all around the globe and delivered on a daily basis to many markets. More than often, we have food in one and the same dish that is combined with ingredients that derive from different continents. Further, less and less consumers and producers know each other, and to the same extent there is little knowledge about production, processing and transforming of foodstuffs and natural ingredients. Agricultural standards, production and processing all combine to present a tool that helps to at least diminish alienation. By means of clear framework requirements, these standards define the processes of production, transformation and, in many cases, also the elements concerning labor conditions that have to be respected by the employer and/or the buyer. Furthermore, the standards also investigate the traceability of a product. Due to accredited institutions that execute frequent supervisions and audits, the compliance of the products regarding the standards are verified. This enables us to know and be reassured that the chain of custody respects the compulsory guidelines fixed in the standards. Once a product Â&#x2013; either fresh or processed, wildly collected, organic or produced by a conventional farming system Â&#x2013; has been checked, the producer/trader/exporter then has the right to put a label on the product in order to somehow or other mark the regularity of the production process. This booklet aims to give a short overview to interested individual farmers, associations, processors and exporters of agricultural products on the main standards that exist covering their sector, what they stand for, how to enter the certification process and where to find more information about the topics raised. Hopefully, the booklet facilitates the orientation for all involved parties. With the wide variety of information stated in this booklet, we pretend to build a piece of the bridge that relies on the confidence in the producers and exporters (and their markets) as well as its consumers that are far away from the production area.

Preface. The market for agricultural products becomes more and more global and demanding for producers, as together with the increasing global trade, agricultural quality standards have become more and more important for accessing export markets. Consumers in importing countries want to know about the production standards applied in the producing countries and traceability within the value chain becomes highly relevant in international trade. Farmers, processors and exporters in the producing countries have to be familiar with these standards if they want to remain competitive. However, the fact of having an increasing number of specific quality standards for each sector market makes it more and more difficult for the producers and exporters to keep the overview on the existing regulations. Over the last 10 years, Swisscontact worldwide as well as in Indonesia has been supporting farmers and businesses in developing countries in accessing export markets. SwisscontactÂ&#x2019;s work focuses on capacity building of the value chain partners in the producing countries and is very glad of having with SIPPO a competent partner who is supporting the producers in accessing the markets in the importing countries in Europe. This booklet is a result of the cooperation with SIPPO and we hope that it will help interested farmer groups, processors and exporters to gain an overview on the various food standard and the relevant steps in the certification process. Information is a first important step for securing existing and entering new market opportunities.

Glossary. ·

Accreditation: an activity to officially authorize or approve an institution to conduct certification/verification.

Certification: an activity to determine whether a product meets certain standards and results in a certificate.

Certification body: unit that decides about the authorization, suspension or cancellation of certification of a company, a farm or group certification.

Conversion period: the time a farm needs to implement organic production methods before it can be certified, e.g. 2 3 years for organic crop production.

Inspection: a close look at the compliance of a production system with certain standards in order to judge its condition.

Standard: a document that provides for both common and repeated use rules, guidelines or characteristics for/of products or related processes and production methods as well as marking or labeling requirements as they apply to a product, process or production method.

Verification: the process of ascertaining the extent of conformance to certain standards.

Agricultural Standards Book

Introduction. The food market is regulated by various standards and regulations owing to the growth of consumer awareness on food safety, social and environmental. This booklet consists of standards that apply to agricultural products produced in Indonesia and that are required by worldwide markets. Each standard and regulation has its own market. To enter the market, producers should meet the required standards for the respective market that has been entered.

Figure 1. Producer must understand market requirements before enter the market.

This booklet applies to people who are involved in production activity both for fresh and processed agriculture products. After reading this booklet, the reader should be able to understand which standards must be fulfilled, who they should ask regarding the certification/verification of the standards' main requirements as well as training/consultation. It is difficult to provide the entire quantity of information in this booklet. Therefore, numerous internet addresses are provided where additional information can be obtained if necessary. We hope this booklet caters to your needs.

Agricultural Standards Book

1. Certification/ verification in Brief. Before entering a new market, the producer must know about and comply with all required standards. The compliance of the standards usually achieved by certification or verification processes depends on the requirements of the standards. Organic standards represent one of the standards that use certification to ensure a producer-linked compliance with criteria for organic production. C.A.F.E. Practices Generic Evaluation Guideline is one of the standards that use verification to ensure a producer-linked compliance with defined criteria according to the guidelines. Both certification and verification require an inspection of the producer conducted by an independent party (usually a certification agency) to check the compliance of the production activity with certain standards. The difference between certification and verification is that the certification is followed by the issuing certificate; regarding verification, no certificate is issued. A certificate is a written guarantee by an independent certification agency stating that the production process or the product complies with certain standards.

1.1. Certification/Verification Costs The costs of meeting the standards and attaining a certified/verified status are: 1. Costs for changes: The producer must make his/her product/process production compliance according to the requirements of the selected certification/verification program. 2. Certification/verification costs: These costs are calculated based on the number of working days needed for carrying out inspection and reporting or by the size, complexity and risk of the certified operation/farm, plus the inspector s travel and accommodation expenses. To reduce costs, the producer can provide accommodation, transport and meals for the inspector. In addition, some certification/verification body charges overhead fees for administration and certification/verification, depending on the size and complexity of the applicant and the number of standards requested for certification/verification.

1.2. Group Certification/Verification For smallholder producers, costs have become a constraint to access certification/verification individually. In order to respond to this situation, a group certification/verification scheme was developed and adopted by some standards such as Organic, C.A.F.E. Practices, 4C (Common Code for Coffee Community), RSPO, Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance, Utz Certification, FAIRWILD and GLOBAL GAP. Group certification/verification is used to organize individual producers into groups and to shift partial responsibility from an external inspection to an internal inspection. In order to implement this shift, the group must have a documented internal management system onsite to ensure that the individual group members meet the requirements of the standard. Group certification/verification implies that: · A central body is responsible for ensuring the group s compliance with applicable standards. The central body manages the files of all group members and inspects each member s operation at least once a year. A list of all individual member producers is available. Using the Internal Control System (ICS) mechanism, the group decides on members compliance with applicable standards. Non-compliances are dealt with according to set procedures and sanctions.

Agricultural Standards Book

· The group certification/verification is applicable to all small farms as well as to processing and handling activities registered within the group. Individual operators within the group may not use the certification/verification independently. What should a producer do if a buyer requests a certain certification/verification? 1. Understanding the standards and requirements of the requested certification/verification. The producer may ask the certification/verification body if any particular requirement in the standard(s) is unclear (free of charge). 2. Ask the certification/verification body about the costs of certification/verification. Then calculate whether it is feasible or not. Don t forget to include costs of any changes that should meet the standard(s). 3. Providing it is feasible, ask whether the buyer has some preference regarding the choice of the certification/verification body. If the buyer prefers a certain certification/verification body, make sure to use that certification/verification body to verify/certify the product. If no preferences are made on behalf of the buyer, the producer may choose the certification/verification body. 4. If producers don t have the confidence to pass the certification/verification, they may apply for a pre-audit in order to understand the gap between the current practices and the practices that meet the standard. Important: A pre-audit entails additional costs that must be paid by producer.

5. Food Safety Standards.

Figure 7: Hygiene produce handling.

Increasing consumer demand for safe food has led to the development of food safety standards such as GLOBAL GAP, HACCP, ISO 22000, BRC and IFS. Food safety standards are primarily designed to reassure consumers that food is produced at a high level of quality and security. Generally, food safety standard criteria are as follows: · Analyze and control the food hazard. · Personal hygiene and safety. · Finished product requirement (product analysis). · Produce handling hygiene procedure. · Input (pesticide, insecticide) storage. · Food safety management system. Most of the non-compliances found during food safety inspection are related to: record keeping systems, availability of risk assessment documents, availability of several procedures such as a harvesting hygiene procedure, a produce handling hygiene procedure, analysis results, pesticide storage, protective clothing and hygiene.

Certification · In addition, the certification body may charge an overhead Cost fee for administration and certification, depending on the size and complexity of the applicant and the number of standards requested for certification. Remarks

In Europe, some private standards have been developed and accepted by markets i.e.: Biosuisse in Switzerland, Soil Association in the UK and Naturland in Germany. All of these private standards possess higher requirements that the EC Organic Regulation. Naturland and Soil Association standards also cover areas not yet governed by the EC Organic Regulation, i.e. organic aquaculture, organic textiles and organic cosmetics. · Although there are many organic standards, the requirements are generally quite similar. The differences usually concern the conversion period topic and permitted external inputs which may be used in organic production. ·
