Tridge summary

In Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, rural producers, wineries, and grape processing industries are nearing the completion of audits for compliance with the localg.a.p protocol, a set of good agricultural practices under GLOBALG.A.P. This initiative, which started in 2014 with the PAS Uva – Grape Safe Food Program for Processing, now involves over 1,000 rural properties. A 2022 comparative study confirmed its technical equivalence with localg.a.p, leading to necessary adjustments. Supported by Sebrae-RS, Consevitis-RS, and other partners, the project aims to align the sector with international standards, enhancing innovation, quality, and international competitiveness. In April, six companies and cooperatives, representing around 200 rural properties, are expected to receive their compliance letters, marking a significant milestone in adopting these practices. Managed by Angélica Louvani Brandalise from Sebrae RS, the initiative not only sets standards for sustainable and safe agricultural production but also plans to expand these practices to other producers in the future.

A fundamental step for the sector, aligning itself with international standards and demonstrating a search for innovation in processes. This will be the first compliance assessment of localg.a.p. of the country and, most likely, one of the most representative in Latin America, due to the number of ...
