The 25 Reasons Farms Fail Their Certification Audit — and How to Pass First Time
Most farms don’t fail because of bad farming. They fail on a handful of avoidable gaps auditors check every single time. Get the exact list — and the quick fix for each — free.
What’s Inside
The 5 Areas Where Farms Lose Certification
All 25 fail points, grouped so you can check your farm against each one.
1 · Records & Traceability
The single biggest reason farms fail — missing logs and no way to trace a lot to its plot.
2 · Pesticides & Plant Protection
Unapproved products, missed pre-harvest intervals, residues over the limit.
3 · Worker Health & Safety
PPE, training records, first aid and field sanitation auditors always check.
4 · Hygiene & Food Safety
Harvest hygiene, water testing, packing-area contamination and pest control.
5 · Site, Soil & Storage
Buffer zones, manure use, nutrient plans and safe product storage.
