GlobalGAP Traceability Requirements 2026: Complete Guide for Flower Farms

5 June 2026By FarmTrace Editorial

Everything export flower farms need for GlobalGAP IFA v6 traceability — harvest records, spray documentation, PHI controls, and chain of custody.

GlobalGAP IFA v6 requires farms to prove batch-level traceability from crop protection through harvest, packhouse handling, and dispatch. Digital records linked by batch ID — not scattered logbooks — are what auditors and buyers expect in 2026.

What GlobalGAP auditors look for

  • Unique batch identification from harvest through dispatch
  • Spray application records with operator, product, rate, and PHI
  • Harvest logs with worker, location, variety, quantity, and grade
  • Packhouse receiving and processing records
  • Mock recall capability within a defined time window

How FarmTrace handles this

FarmTrace links spray events, PHI blocks, harvest logs, packhouse records, cold-chain readings, export documentation, and buyer QR links to the same batch chain. Compliance reports show completeness per harvest batch and export audit packs as CSV, HTML, or JSON.
