In this paper, we analyzed various determinants of the adoption of GlobalGAP certification in Pakistan. The study found that higher schooling as well as financial know how increase the probability of adoption of certification. In the same way, training helped farmers to successfully adopt the GlobalGAP standard. As there are some additional costs associated with compliance to the certification, it is clear that farmers with relatively larger farm size and those who could access credit are more likely to adopt. On the other hand, factors such as age, experience and distance from the provincial capital are not significant predictors of the outcome. However, there is a requirement to assess the properties of GlobalGAP for Pakistani agriculture; to attain this a complete methodological idea is essential. It would make the agriculture sector of Pakistan more export oriented, yielding higher returns to the gross domestic production of the county. In this context, this study offers a valuable guideline in order to reformulate policies that would ultimately help to improve global competency of agriculture sector of Pakistan.
