THE AGRICHAIN CENTRE HAS ITS ORIGIN IN THE PRODUCE INDUSTRY
The company’s founders, Anne-Marie Arts and Hans Maurer have strong horticultural and produce based backgrounds. The company’s involvement in the Independent Verification (IVA), Survey, Project Management, Food Safety and Biosecurity sectors evolved from the founding shareholders’ understanding of the fresh produce industry’s business needs in these areas.
The produce industry is a rapidly evolving business. The horticulture industry strategy articulates its vision of being a $10 billion industry. Achieving this goal will require vision, discipline, an action orientation and superior marketing skills.
