The aim of this work was to estimate the compliance costs at “Persa” lemon packing from two regions of Veracruz to implement an innocuousness program, to define the problems they face during a Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) certification program and the benefits they notice by fulfilling it. The information was collected by the application of a questionnaire to the packinghouses at the area of interest. Certified companies perceive food safety as an opportunity to gain markets and displace those packing that do not satisfy GMP adoption for international market. The main challenge to get the certification is low financial resources availability, so high costs for amenities. The implementation of a food safety program and its costs are considered as a non-tariff action that may affect exportations from non-certified packing.
