For new producers, registration with ZERYA takes the form of annual fees, depending on the crop and area. For both outdoor and protected crops in greenhouses and tunnels, the annual fee is 360 €/year up to a certified area of 100 hectares. From 100 ha upwards, the farm registration fee is 420 €/year plus 1 €/year for each additional hectare over 100 ha. Groupings of farms within the same province are allowed. For handling centres there will be one fee per product to be handled and one fee per handling centre.
Write to us and ask for our ZERYA Pesticide Residue-free field guide, in which we explain the certification requirements and processes, as well as the details of the fees that apply to you.
The registration periods are 3 years, during which you, as a producer, can alter, increase or decrease the registered areas, as well as increase or decrease the registered crops. The land parcels of registered crops applying for certification must be updated annually. The current registration must always match the registered area and crops submitted for audit.
