APS is an industry-wide initiative that addresses all the important issues concerning the production of 'produce' – fruit, salads and vegetables. The Scheme has been awarded UKAS accreditation, the international yardstick of quality assurance that gives it global credibility.
APS promotes safe and environmentally-responsible production of fruit, salads and vegetables through the use of integrated crop management (ICM). This is a philosophy that recognises the need for crop production to be both economically and environmentally sustainable.
APS is designed to maintain consumers' confidence in the safety and integrity of the produce they eat. Growers must follow the best production advice contained in both the generic and crop-specific protocols that form the basis of the Scheme.
The major supermarkets and processors operating in the UK support the scheme. Independent assessment gives the grower the means to demonstrate to the customer, and ultimately to the consumer, that fruit, salad and vegetable crops are being grown in full compliance with the published standards. This helps maintain consumer confidence in the safety of the produce they eat.
