The Green Label Certification Program

A brief Introduction

The Ghana Green Label Scheme is aimed at promoting safe food production, postharvest handling and distribution using good and environmentally sustainable agricultural practices. Farmers, transporters and traders (wholesale and retail) subscribing to this Scheme must implement such practices.

The certification scheme is modelled to certify farms that comply with the requisite production and distribution systems that ensure that safety and environmental sustainability are not compromised until produce reaches the consumer.The implementation of this scheme should facilitate the eventual transition of the Ghanaian horticultural industry to sustainable agriculture.

While the Ghana Green Label scheme targets the domestic market, it is expected to serve as an entry point for local farmers to access the international market.
