Certification of Agricultural Products
By Monideep Dey
Abstract
In this paper, Monideep Dey summarizes how ISO/IEC TR 17032, Guidelines and examples of a scheme for
the certification of processes can be used for the certification of agricultural products. Monideep Dey explains that export of agricultural products is important to the economic development of developing countries. Presently, some markets, such as US and EU, specify the requirements (e.g. USDA Organic) to export to their markets and receive certification. ISO standards are being developed to specify technical requirements for some agricultural products. Monideep Dey further states that these technical standards and ISO/IEC 17032 can be used to develop a scheme for the certification of the agricultural products that can be used to export to all markets that accept certification in accordance with ISO international standards.
