Quality you can audit

GLOBALG.A.P. and ISO 9001 on our own farms, BRC on our own packhouses, HACCP through the process, and a paper trail from every carton back to the plot it came from.

Standards

Certifications

Current certificates are shared on request and accompany shipment documentation where the destination requires them.

BRC Global Standards

Both the citrus packhouse and the soft fruit packhouse are BRC-food certificated for food safety, hygiene and traceability.

GLOBALG.A.P.

Our farms are accredited for Good Agricultural Practices, covering residue control, inputs and harvest handling at source.

ISO 9001 & HACCP

The farms hold ISO 9001, and hazard analysis with critical control points is documented across receiving, packing and dispatch.

Phytosanitary

Every shipment carries a phytosanitary certificate issued by the relevant Egyptian authority.

Where things get checked

Five control points

Quality is not one inspection at the end. It is five checkpoints, and the last one is never allowed to fix the first four.

01

In the field

Our own farms and closely supervised out-growers, with input records and harvest history checked before anything is cut.

02

Incoming

Temperature and condition checked at the packhouse door, not assumed from the field.

03

Grading

Sizing plus hand grading against the written specification. Rejected fruit is pulled from the line, not sorted out later.

04

Testing

Residue and quality testing to the standard the destination market enforces.

05

Dispatch

Container sealed and temperature logged, with the lot traceable back to its source.

Traceability

Every carton has an address

Each lot carries its farm, harvest window and packing date. If something is wrong in your receiving dock, we can answer what happened upstream without guessing.

  • Farm and plot. Which of our farms, or which out-grower, and which plot the lot came from.
  • Harvest window. Pick dates, not a vague “this season”.
  • Packing record. Line, shift, grader and pack-out time.
  • Cold chain log. Temperature from pack-out to container seal.
