Sampling at the place of origin

Our collaboration with experienced inspectors across the world enables us to carry out supply chain control monitoring, from representative and independent sampling in the country of origin, to loading inspections and supplier audits in all major export markets, as well as at central trading points in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Turkey and along the Black Sea coast. This enables us to monitor for the use of pesticides and assess hygiene conditions on site, thereby helping to minimise contamination during harvesting, transport and storage.
