Quality Assurance & Ocean Logistics

From Sortex laser cleaning and third-party laboratory assays to refrigerated container stuffing at JNPT Nhava Sheva.

Zero-Defect Philosophy

Our 5-Tier Quality Inspection Protocol

We maintain strict compliance with global food safety authorities (US FDA, European EFSA, GCC Standards Organization - GSO).

Stage 1: Farm Gate Grading

Field specialists assess raw harvest on the ground—checking berry size, sugar Brix, moisture percentage, and cosmetic blemishes before purchasing.

Stage 2: Sortex Optical Sorting

Agricultural commodities run through computerized optical color sorters and magnetic destoners to eliminate discolored units, foreign particles, and stems.

Stage 3: Laboratory Certification

Batch samples are tested in accredited laboratories (SGS, Eurofins, Geo-Chem) for pesticide residues, aflatoxins, salmonella, and moisture limits.

Stage 4: Food-Grade Packaging

Packed in multi-layer corrugated boxes with food-grade polyethylene inner liners, vacuum-sealed pouches, or high-tensile BOPP bags for maximum freshness.

Stage 5: Reefer Stuffing & Fumigation

Pre-cooled stuffing inside reefer containers at regulated temperatures (+5°C for pomegranates & fresh grapes) with certified methyl bromide or phosphine fumigation.

Official Export Documentation

Full documentation issued for each bill of lading: Phytosanitary Certificate, Certificate of Origin, Non-GMO Declaration, Certificate of Analysis, and Fumigation Certificate.
