PRODUCE QUALITY ASSESSMENTS

A Quality Assessment provides sellers guidance on product condition in order to determine consumer channels and realistic shelf life expectations.

PRODUCE SURVEYS

We have a vast range of experience in all aspects of the produce business, and are able to assess any produce, covering the range from Avocados to Zucchinis.

MYSTERY SHOPPING

Mystery shoppers typically mirror customer behaviours to understand the habits deemed important for the retailer, the packhouse, an industry or the consumer.

REGULATORY SAMPLING PROGRAMMES

We specialise in Regulatory Sampling Programmes. Our staff manage the chain of custody between sample collection and arrival at laboratories for analysis.

The need to protect New Zealand’s natural and physical resources from pests and disease is critical. We provide Biosecurity consultancy and project management.
