İTU — İyi Tarım Uygulamaları: How to obtain it: application and practice

Activity and application information

Apply to a ministry authorised control and certification body before production begins. Describe producers, plots, products and the production period. Assess previous land use, neighbouring activities and water sources; risks that cannot be controlled must be addressed at the initial decision stage.

Connecting practice and records

Production records are essential. Connect fertiliser and plant protection applications, quantities, operators, irrigation and harvest. Determine analysis needs from the product, risks and current rules. A consultant’s preparation file does not replace the authorised body’s control.

Example decision: a scope change

A hypothetical producer rents a new plot and wants to apply an existing Turkish İTU certificate to its crop. Record previous land use, water source, neighbouring activities and production period first. The Ministry-authorised body assesses the new scope and required controls. A certificate copy or growing the same crop is insufficient for the new plot; harvest identity and inputs must link to the relevant production area.

Independent decision and consultancy

Kayra Patent consultancy supports scope definition, record organisation and tracking unfinished preparation work. The relevant authorised or scheme approved body performs the audit and makes the certification decision. Separate consultancy and that body’s services in the quotation.
