Our team is on the ground at the FINAS (Financing Agri-Food Systems Sustainably) 2026 Summit, running from June 30 to July 2 at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) in Nairobi.

This year's theme, "Towards Sustainable Financial Architecture for Africa's Food Systems," resonates deeply with our mission. Certification and verification play a crucial role in building trust, ensuring food safety, and enabling access to sustainable markets across the continent.

Our colleague Mike Kioku will be representing Africert, engaging with stakeholders from across the agri-food value chain. He will have the opportunity to connect with potential partners, sharing insights on how independent verification supports sustainable agricultural practices and strengthens food systems.

The summit provides a valuable platform for dialogue on financing sustainable agri-food systems across Africa. We are excited about the conversations and collaborations taking shape.

Did you know that GlobalG.A.P. is the world's leading farm assurance standard, recognized by retailers and buyers across the globe? It is the key to unlocking premium export markets and building trust with international customers.

For smallholder farmers and producer groups, the journey to certification may seem challenging – but it is absolutely achievable.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝

The latest standard is IFA (Integrated Farm Assurance) version 6 Smart. This version represents a significant step forward, with a strong focus on:
✅ Environmental responsibility
✅ Workers' health, safety, and welfare
✅ Food safety and traceability
✅ Sustainable production processes

👥 For Smallholder Groups – Option 2 Certification

Smallholder farmers can achieve GlobalG.A.P. certification through Option 2: Group Certification. This allows a group of producers (like a cooperative) to share a single certificate under a unified Quality Management System.

This approach:
✅ Reduces individual costs and audit burden
✅ Provides access to formal markets and export opportunities
✅ Builds credibility and resilience for smallholders competing globally

📈 A Stepwise Path to Certification

For farmers new to certification, GlobalG.A.P. offers the Primary Farm Assurance (PFA) program – a capacity-building initiative with three levels that provide a gradual, accessible path to full certification.

The East African Organic Products Standard (EAOPS) provides a harmonized framework for organic production and processing within East Africa. The standard promotes sustainable agricultural practices while facilitating trade in certified organic products across the region.
EAOPS certification covers various scopes, including crop production, livestock production, beekeeping, wild collection, and processing activities.

As consumer awareness of food quality, environmental sustainability, and traceability continues to grow, organic certification has become an essential tool for demonstrating compliance with recognized organic production standards. AfriCert Limited undertakes inspections and certification of operators against internationally recognized organic standards, including the EU Organic Regulation.

𝐄𝐔 𝐎𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐂𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

EU Organic Certification is based on Regulation (EU) 2018/848 and its associated delegated and implementing acts. The regulation establishes requirements for the production, processing, handling, labelling, and marketing of organic products destined for the European Union market.
Through independent inspections and certification, operators can demonstrate compliance with the requirements governing organic crop production, processing, handling, and trade.

🌍 Happy World Environment Day 2026! 🌱
This year’s theme is "Land Restoration, Desertification, and Drought Resilience." A powerful reminder that our planet’s health starts with the ground beneath our feet.

Every tree planted, every patch of soil restored, and every drop of water saved brings us closer to a greener, more resilient future. 🌳💧

At AfriCert, we see the power of certification as a tool for change. Standards like Rainforest Alliance, EU Organic, GlobalG.A.P., and CmiA reward practices that protect soil health, conserve water, and restore ecosystems. When farmers meet these standards, they don't just access markets. They become guardians of the land.

Let’s take action today:

✅ Plant something green
✅ Reduce waste
✅ Support sustainable farming
✅ Protect our water sources
✅ Choose certified products that promote drought resilience

👉 Ready to be part of the solution? AfriCert helps farmers and agribusinesses certify sustainable practices that restore land and build resilience. Contact us today.

Together, we can heal the Earth. One step, one seed, one choice, one certification at a time. 💚
