Sustainable supply chains
We operate highly integrated supply chains working with large-scale growers and smallholders to provide training, quality seeds and other inputs, coupled with the highest standards of quality and microbiological control at our processing plants in origin and in destination markets, thereby reducing food safety risks.
It is essential that we keep on top of the rapidly changing regulatory frameworks across our multiple markets. We adopt granular vigilance to keep in step with the standards and requirements of governments and various legislative bodies.
