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 the crop specific protocols that form the basis of the scheme. It is an independently assessed assurance scheme.
