Shwapno, the largest retail chain in Bangladesh, has been awarded the GLOBALG.A.P. certificate recently, says a press release.
GLOBALG.A.P is an international organisation that works to ensure the standards of food safety across the world.
After completion of all the tests and formalities supervised by their audit committee, Shwapno received the certificate on February 16, 2022.
Shwapno is the first and only retail chain in South-East Asia to become a GLOBALG.A.P-certified member and the only Bangladeshi company to gain such recognition.
Executive Director of Shwapno Sabbir Hasan Nasir said, "Shwapno is the first GLOBALG.A.P.-certified retailer in South-East Asia. This is a matter of great pride and relief for us. I would like to thank our farmers, USAID, and GLOBALG.A.P. for helping us gain this achievement. The standards of seven certified products ensure how serious Shwapno is about maintaining food safety. We always identify the most impactful dreams and we try to make these dreams come true."
GLOBALG.A.P. is an international organization that follows a strict set of rules and criteria to give recognition to companies that produce and sell agricultural products.
Retail stores in Europe and the US maintain the GLOBALG.A.P. standards. Shwapno can now export produce to Australia, the UAE, the US, and the UK as mentioned in the GLOBALG.A.P. Certificate.
