To date, the number of fruit and vegetables operators interested in applying of Eurepgap standard is increasing. 
Organic fruits and vegetables production chains, are in fact, progressively more integrated with “large scale” and  international retailers, who also demand additional guarantees for organic productions compared to those provided for by the European organic rules.
