3 Voluntary GLOBALG.A.P. Membership Fees ( Chapter 12) GLOBALG.A.P. members benefit in many ways: they contribute to the governance of GLOBALG.A.P., participate in standard setting and decision making processes, and provide input for the benchmarking approval process. In addition to these active participatory rights, GLOBALG.A.P. members profit from a range of special services and discounts. GLOBALG.A.P. offers three different types of memberships: producer/supplier, retailer/food service and associate. Benchmarking Fees ( Chapter 13) Owners of Good Agricultural Practice (G.A.P.) standards worldwide can seek to demonstrate equivalence with GLOBALG.A.P. through an independent benchmarking process. The benchmarking fees are service fees covering the application and approval procedure guided by the GLOBALG.A.P. Secretariat. The fees do not include the cost of evaluation by external expert(s). GLOBALG.A.P. Workshop Fees ( Chapter 14) GLOBALG.A.P. Workshops fees are paid by each participant or in the case of a corporate workshop, by the company. Workshops provide first-hand knowledge of the GLOBALG.A.P. Standard and Good Agricultural Practice (G.A.P.). 1.3 Other Definitions Covered/Non-Covered Crop Covered crop is primarily intended to mean Produced in a greenhouse. A crop is considered covered when it is grown beneath or within a structure - with or without building foundations - where the cropping environment has some kind of overhead protection (not including individual plant/tree covers, nets, low tunnels, hail protection, mulches or anything that is not a greenhouse) during the production of that crop. The cover can be made of plastic, glass or other similar materials, and must be accessible by persons (walk-in possible). Any farm can have part of its crop covered and another part not covered, but this must be declared separately at registration, detailing the sum of the respective areas (covered or not covered) according to the definition above. Any other production is considered Non-covered-crop. Certification Options: Option 1 - individual producer, Option 2 - producer group, Option 3 - individual producer under full benchmarked or equivalent scheme, Option 4 - producer group under full benchmarked or equivalent scheme. 2 PRODUCER REGISTRATION FEES FOR ALL OPTIONS (1, 2, 3 AND 4) 2.1 Producer Registration Fees For All Options (1, 2, 3 and 4) Integrated Farm Assurance & Produce Safety Standard: Crop Based Scopes and Plant Propagation Material for Covered Crops 1 Area under Production < 0.5 ha 5 GLOBALG.A.P.
