Record number of GMP+ applicants
The registration of the feed trading company Klaus Schröder Agrarhandel in the German town of Hofheim-Wallau as the 7,000 participant is a new milestone for the Dutch feed quality system GMP+ from the Product Board for Animal Feed (PDV).
Klaus Schröder Agrarhandel is a supplier of raw materials
to the feed industry. With the GMP+ certificate the company can now also supply
grains, such as wheat, barley and oats to Dutch feed millers that have the same
certification.
Steady growth of participants
The number of registered
participants shows a steady growth. Early 2005 the 6,000 barrier was passed and
the number of applicants from the countries in Central and Eastern Europe is
growing steadily. Also in Asia and South America companies were certified
following the PDV-system.Worldwide GMP+ participants
come from 50 countries.
Safety in the feed chain
GMP+ certified companies are only allowed to do
business with other GMP+ or similar qualified organisations. This way the safety of the feed chain is warranted. In
July 2006 GMP+ was recognised as an international certification standard by the Accreditation
Council.Organisations or companies that do not comply with the criteria loose their GMP+
title.
