The Dominica Bureau of Standards (DBOS) Fresh Produce Export Quality Control Act was enacted in 2009 which promotes the certification of farms, packinghouses and activities throughout the value chain. Currently, banana is the only crop produced through a fully developed certification scheme, namely Global G.A.P. (Good Agricultural Practices) and Fair Trade. There is need to develop similar certification schemes (Dominica Global G.A.P.) for other major crops; some of which are identified in Dominica’s National Export Strategy. The development of certification schemes for these major crops is being pursued by the DBOS.
