GAP - Gap

Japanese: GAP - ぎゃっぷ

A standard given to agricultural products that meet certain criteria such as "quality," "safety," and "environmental friendliness." It is also called "Good Agricultural Practices." Its introduction is progressing in Europe, where "Eurep Gap" is treated as a major factor in quality assurance, making it difficult for agricultural products that are not GAP certified to enter the agricultural market. Even in Japan, where the introduction of GAP is lagging behind, doubts about the safety of agricultural products have been raised since the O157 problem, and agricultural product hygiene management manuals have begun to appear. Furthermore, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries launched the "Fresh Agricultural Product Safety Assurance Measures Project" in 2004 and is promoting the introduction of GAP in production areas by holding "GAP Promotion Review Meetings" and "GAP National Training Sessions."

Japanese:

「品質」「安全性」「環境への配慮」などの一定基準を満たした農作物に認められる規格。「適正農業規範」とも呼ばれる。ヨーロッパでは導入が進んでおり、「ユーレップギャップ」が品質保証の大きな判断材料として扱われ、GAP認証を取得していない農作物は農作物市場への参入が難しくなっている。GAPの導入が遅れている日本でも、O(おー)157問題を契機に農作物の安全性に対する疑問の声が出るようになり、農作物の衛生管理マニュアルが登場しはじめた。さらに、2004年から農林水産省が「生鮮農産物安全性確保対策事業」を開始し、「GAP推進検討会」「GAP全国研修会」の開催を通して産地へのGAP導入を進めている。
