BAYGAP TOOL An Innovative Service Program for Export Growers EUREPGAP Leadership Latin America. 20 April 2007 Initial Situation Fresh Vegetable and Fruit exports to Europe have grown fast since year 2000. BCS Peru have been the market leader for several decades and export growers have well recognized its high quality products and have respected the technical support from its representatives. EurepGAP Certification have became an main issue for growers since 2002, at that moment most of the pesticide spray workers had not received training about safe use and have not used personal protection wearing. Since 2002 growers have asked BCS for pesticide safe use training courses (AgroVida) and documents for fulfill EurepGAP requirements. After analyze the EurepGAP Protocol (point 8) the Team realized that BCS Peru was able to offer more than a single training course and could offer a complete set of training courses about Good Agricultural Practices plus all the documentation required and a quality technical support on the field. The Project Team saw that there was a main opportunity to create a Program that could offer a complete service (with a brand) such as several training courses, documentation support, personal protection uniforms and specialized advice in spray technology , in other words, a whole program that was able to fulfill all the grower needs about EurepGAP’s Protocol pesticide issues. 1
