Benefits of BRC
BRC provides a basic assessment of production requirements and input material control. In BRC, the production requirement is that the company must be certified for HACCP.
BRC standards provide requirements that help us control the seed supply chain, planting, harvesting and processing until product delivery to customers. The standard also requires updating regulatory requirements and technological information about products to help companies ensure timely response to changes and always provide safe products to consumers.
In addition, one of the important requirements is that today customers want to know where the product they are using comes from and BRC helps us with this. BRC provides general requirements for the control of agricultural inputs, not as specific and strict as GAP requirements.
