Quality Management
• Requirements to agricultural products change, we now need GlobalGAP certification. We have started taking the necessary steps for obtaining certification.
• To comply with GlobalGAP requirements the products need to be sorted, packaged and stored.
• In order to better comply with the supermarket requirements the deliveries should be consistent over a longer period of time.
• Unfortunately, currently our products are sold directly from the field.
