Quality Control & Traceability
Our Quality Control programme
ensures we stay abreast in the International
market. It is a rigorous step by step process
which is monitored from the field level when it
is grown till the end product is relished by the
customer.
The farmer is assisted
with informed choices on various Growing
Practices. Farmers are encouraged towards
‘Quality’ versus ‘Quantity’, and accordingly rewarded. Regular work – shops
as well as field trips are undertaken to keep
farmers up to date on International MRL levels
and pest management practices. Farm plots are
accordingly identified and are harvested at full
maturity with minimum sugars at 16 degrees brix.
Harvesting is done during the early morning
hours and pre-cooled to 00C to
increase their storage life. Other quality
specifications like berry size, bunch weight ,
freshness of stems and uniform appearance are
strictly adhered to suit the market
requirements.
The company’s operations
are based in a “state of the art” cold storage
facility, which is HACCP approved, located in
the heart of the Grape growing area in Western
Maharashtra, India. A sister
company manages all the logistical support
system to distribute products with efficient and
quality conscious practices.
Self – checks are
implemented at all crucial points of
production. Samples of each and every lot are
tested for pesticide residue MRLs from reputed
International certifying agencies.
Every box can be traced
with the help of a 8 digit code which can be
traced to it’s -

With the world market in
view all aspects of phytosanitary and pesticide
residue are addressed to ensure compliance with
total traceability throughout the value chain.
