Technical Services
We have our own technologists in the field and in the packhouses. This
provides us with more control over what gets packed in the box.
PRE-SEASON
We require every grower to state in writing the proposed pesticides to
be sprayed on their fields. The goal is to make sure these are within
the regulations of the country to whom we are shipping. For supplies to
Europe, most growers have attained their EUREPGAP certification.
Packhouses are audited prior to harvest.
DURING THE SEASON
Our technologists work in the field and in the packing stations so that
quality control takes place at source.
Daily field updates (on quality of fruit, issues if any, and expected
length of harvest) are sent by e-mail to the buyers and technologists on
the receiving end.
We are equipped with all the tools necessary to perform checks and audits
at source (refractometer, penetrometer, European ring sizes for grape & stone
fruit).
