QUALITY MANAGEMENT SERVICES

Fresh produce is a complex category of products. From the moment the product is harvested the quality starts deteriorating.

Fresh produce takes months to grow, and minutes to spoil, if post-harvest practices like handling, temperature and pests are not managed correctly along the supply chain.

The AgriChain Centre is a JASANZ accredited inspection body, in compliance with the requirements of ISO/IEC 17020. Our industry & post-harvest services portfolio is underpinned by this accreditation.

The services we offer include:

  • Produce Quality Assessments
  • Produce Surveys
  • Insurance Claims Surveys
  • Inherent vice surveys
  • Supervision of Container loadouts
  • Mystery Shopping
  • Regulatory Sampling Programmes
  • Q.C. Training
The common elements in these services are our ability to assist you in a timely, professional, cost effective, accurate, and easy to follow fashion. Our work is aligned with your business goals. Business is all about achieving results. Results need to be measured to ensure goals are being achieved.

Measuring products, outcomes or processes ensures a business stays on track and takes stock of situations or outcomes so that meaningful communication with customer and/or suppliers can take place.
