Milk and cereals, fruit and vegetables, and fish and meat are the mainstays of what we eat and are founded on efficient agricultural businesses producing high-quality and safe food. Your customers value this. At the same time industry, trade, and consumers are placing ever higher demands on how food is produced. Customers want verifiable proof of food safety and quality, environmental sustainability, animal welfare, and social standards. Only those who provide such proof will be able to sustain their business model over the long term.
But certifying the processes and products of agricultural enterprises is difficult due to their varied and complex production methods. As one of the world's leading auditing and certification organizations, we can support you in this area. We help you to document your services according to international standards of quality.
