About Maryland's Nutrient Management Program

Maryland law requires all farmers grossing $2,500 a year of more or livestock producers with 8,000 pounds or more of live animal weight to follow nutrient management plans when fertilizing crops and managing animal manure. Nutrient management plans specify how much fertilizer, manure or other nutrient sources may be safely applied to crops to achieve yields and prevent excess nutrients from impacting waterways. Because of their complexity, these plans must be prepared by a certi ed University of Maryland specialist, certi ed private consultant, or farmer who is trained and certi ed by the department to prepare his

GAP/GHP Certification and the FSMA Produce Safety Rule

The Maryland Department of Agriculture (MDA) o ers two Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and Good Handling Practices (GHP) food safety certification programs for fruit and vegetable producers and packers: MDA GAP/GHP certification and USDA GAP/GHP certification. The goal of both GAPs and GHPs is to reduce the risk of microbial contamination of fresh fruits and vegetables during growing, harvesting and packing. The current USDA and MDA standards are based on the Food and Drug Administration’s Guidance to Industry with revisions to incorporate the Food Safety Modernization Act Produce Safety Rule requirements. All GAP programs are voluntary though they may be required by buyers, require a food safety plan and at a minimum annual audits to verify compliance. Growers and handlers of produce that pass audits receive a certificate. Through a cooperative agreement with FDA, MDA has developed a Maryland Produce Safety Program that provides outreach, education, technical assistance, inspection and enforcement equivalent to the requirements of the FSMA Produce Safety Rule. There is no way to guarantee that everything we grow and consume is free of microbial contamination, however, the risk can be reduced if preventive steps are taken during production, harvest and packing of fresh fruits and vegetables on the farm and in packing houses. Produce Safety Rule and Good Agricultural Practices training sessions are held regionally and are posted on MDA’s website as they are scheduled.

Food Safety Modernization Act Produce Safety Rule: Food safety practices required by the Produce Safety Rule are similar to GAP required practices, however, compliance is mandatory for those producing and packing produce unless the fruit or vegetable is one that is rarely consumed raw. There are some exemptions from complying with portions of the rule based on the dollar amount of sales and/or the nature of the business purchasing the produce. All persons growing, harvesting or packing produce are required to register with MDA and apply for any exemptions on an annual basis. MDA does conduct inspections to verify compliance but unlike the voluntary GAP audits inspections are not conducted annually and a certificate of compliance is not issued.

USDA o ers three types of GAP/GHP certification: USDA GAP/GHP Certified, USDA Harmonized Field and Post Harvest Certified and USDA Harmonized+ Field and Post Harvest Certified (Global Food Safety Initiative approved). To meet the requirements of buyers for GAP certification, the farm or business must complete a successful audit of its operation conducted by MDA’s Food Quality Assurance Program USDA licensed auditors to determine compliance with Good Agricultural Practices and/or Good Handling Practices. The program is conducted through a cooperative agreement with USDA Agricultural Marketing Service. Successful completion of the audit and certification by USDA provides national recognition for producers to the many buyers now requiring audits for compliance to the GAP guidelines. USDA GAP/GHP audit charges are eligible for cost share assistance from USDA Specialty Crop Block grant funds through MDA. Funding from USDA Farm Service Agency for USDA Harmonized and USDA Harmonized+ audit charges have stopped, e ective October 2022. If funding is not continued, producers are eligible for cost share assistance from USDA Specialty Crop Block grant funds through MDA.

MDA State GAP: MDA’s Food Quality Assurance Program also o ers a Maryland GAP certification program geared towards growers that are direct marketers, selling to retailers that accept the MDA GAP certification and/or those that are working towards USDA certification. Growers must attend approved food safety training and successfully complete an audit verifying their food safety practices to become MDA GAP certified. Funding for this program is provided through a Specialty Crop grant from USDA and is o ered to growers at no cost.

For questions on the above programs, please contact: Molly Gillingham, Food Quality Assurance Program, 410-841-5769 or produce.safety@maryland.gov.
