As an exporting country, Chile has always been aware of the need to comply with the guidelines of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP). These procedures are wide reaching. Controls ensure that the quality of the produce is excellent and that Food Safety (biological and chemical risks) regulations are complied with. There are also measures in place to uphold Corporate Social Responsibility as well as care for the Environment. The Chilean GAP programme is very keen to protect to protect the environment against any type of malpractice.

Although participation in the Chilean GAP programme remains voluntary, it was the first programme in the world to be implemented at a national level.

The Chilean standard on Good Agricultural Practices (ChileGAP®), has been endorsed and certified by Eurepgap and by Davis Fresh through its ProSafe Certified program.
