National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how farmers in South Korea can obtain organic or GAP certifications and manage product traceability through this national service.
This service helps farmers obtain official certifications for their crops to prove they meet specific quality and safety standards.
Who it's for
This scheme is designed for farmers who want to certify their produce as organic or as following Good Agricultural Practices (GAP).
What you get
Once you participate, you receive official certification registration. This also provides a system to manage the traceability of your products, making it easier to track where your crops come from and ensure their quality.
What it costs you
While the administrative process is straightforward, it requires your time and presence for rigorous on-site inspections to verify your farming practices.
The catch to know
You cannot simply get certified once and be done. You must renew your certification every year by providing updated reports regarding your soil and water quality.
How to apply
- Review the specific requirements for organic or GAP certification.
- Prepare your necessary documentation and environmental reports.
- Submit your application through the official online portal.
- Prepare for an on-site inspection by officials.
