Abstract

One of the most widely accepted and implemented certification system for agricultural products around the world is GLOBALG.A.P. certification system. It aims to the safety through the minimize of hazard, and to the environment-friendliness for the maintain of sustainable productivity, and to the strength of social function through the improvement of worker's welfare. GLOBALG.A.P. certification system has been increased interest in Korea, and participating farmers are also on the rise. The results of this study from 127 farmers in the three organizations are as follows. The producer's group is need to be managed in a systematic and organized in manner with internal regulations and/or guidelines. In the farms, the level of safety and hygiene for workers was significantly lower by 20.4% than other areas. Also, the level of management for the plant protection products was 22.7% in average, and 63.6% for the management of fertilizers. Therefore, it is concluded that advanced education and management for the farmers and substantial support for building the farm environment should be realized in order to meets the needs of consumers and to strengthen international competitiveness.

세계 각국에서 시행되고 농산물에 대한 인증제도 중 가장 폭넓게 수용되고 있는 GLOBALG.A.P. 인증기준은 위해 요소의 최소화를 통한 안전성, 지속 가능한 생산성의 유지를 위한 환경친화성, 그리고 작업자의 복지, 건강 등에 대한 사회적 기능 강화를 목표로 하고 있다. 국내에서도 GLOBALG.A.P. 인증에 대한 관심이 증가되면서 인증농가수도 증가하고 있는데, 우리나라의 3개 과수 수출전문단지의 127농가를 대상으로 조사한 결과, 생산자단체는 단체관리를 위한 내부규정이나 지침을 제정하여 체계적이고 조직적으로 운영될 필요가 있다고 판단된다. 또한 농가에서는 작업자의 안전과 위생에 대한 수준이 평균 20.4%로 다른 분야보다 월등히 낮았고, 식물보호제의 관리수준은 평균 22.7%, 비료 관리수준은 평균 63.6% 수준이었다. 따라서 안전안심 농산물에 대한 소비자의 욕구 충족 및 국제 경쟁력 강화를 위해서는 농가교육 및 관리의 강화와 선진형 농장환경 구축을 위한 지원이 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단된다.
