KenyaGAP-the Standard
Enhanced aspects (beyond Globalgap scope) e.g. social chapter (CSR/HEBI aspects)
Implementation:
FPEAK organizes training/group or individual farmers capacity building Independent third Party audits No Duplication: GlobalGAP and KenyaGAP certification in parallel info@fpeak.org
1.5 mil farmers total, 4.5 mil people dependent (direct and indirect)
About 150 000 farmers in export horticulture Small, medium, large and groups Flowers 55% value, and fruits and veges 45% Basis for small-scale compliance to KenyaGAP
240 exporters,

kenyaGAP now contracted by Domestic Supermarket to implement standards on fruits and veges Without it, small scale would be out of international trade

Organized Efficient
Large-Scale-small-scale cooperation
Or independent groups Main Difference in large, the players are called workers, and in small, they are owners
Large-Small :
(in Kenya, for large scale its 1.5people per acre, and small scale is about 3 people per acre)
Use of plant production products limited to absolutely necessary Interceptions and exceedances so far not different for the two groups

Landholding decreasing
High value crops the only socio-economic answer Expansion of large farms most feasible through large-small collaboration
Its bite-size.
Developing countries credit system not ready for numerous large scale farming systems Kenya experience: profit per kg highest in under 4acres or over 50 acres
Our chance to participate in globalization, (sun and water plenty and soils are good
KenyaGAP-GLOBALGAP Cooperation
Was an expensive process PIP collaboration and funding played a critical role PIP,GTZ and DFID creating a pool of knowledge/ consultants Structured input to the formal process

Focusing on compliance
Lets compete on compliance, not compliance methods (variety of standards) The EU DG-Dev/Unctad process The WTO SPS Committee Consultations
A measure, and way of attesting it, commensurate to the hazard, not more restrictive Structured engagement with small scale in Developing Countries

In Conclusion.
Are organized, efficient They DO MEET GLOBALGAP standard KenyaGAP GlobalGAP collaboration is working The horticulture export figures and growth of the sector is evidence and MRL/interception reports show that small scale is not higher risk
