ASIAGAP certification program will be phased out and will be discontinued as of 2028, with activities consolidated into JGAP moving forward. This decision has been made with the goal of accelerating GAP promotion by concentrating our efforts to the JGAP program.

While ASIAGAP, recognized by GFSI for its focus on food safety, has been regarded as a premium certification scheme, the mainstream of agricultural certification has increasingly shifted toward sustainability. In light of this, we will concentrate our promotion efforts on JGAP and JGAP+SA, both of which offer a well-balanced approach to both food safety and sustainability.

Please see the links below for detailed explanation behind the decision to end ASIAGAP in 2028, future procedures for ASIAGAP-certified farms, and guidance on transitioning to JGAP and JGAP+SA.
