Technical experts from different countries & technical visits to keep up with most up-to-date practices are important components of our programs & budget. Biotechnology research & cooperation with foreign & local companies are an ongoing process & have so far yielded many benefits for our practical applications.
Certifications
Charles’ Fresh has capitalized on quality assurance programs & certifications including ISO 9001:2008, Global GAP & BRC programs, which continually enables us to reduce the use of chemicals & to ensure consistent delivery of high products to our clients. By abiding to such programs, our internal procedures are monitored & improved simultaneously.
Pack Houses
All pack houses follow a strict protocol in the most hygienic way in order to ensure the freshness & quality of the dispatched products. Our cold stores are up to above standards & sufficient enough to cope with our logistical shipping programs.
Fruit Nurseries
Several nurseries are spread over all Charles’ Fresh lands, making use of different soil types, where new-line, sub-tropical fruits like mangoes, citrus, including lemons & oranges are raised along with our mainstream products such as grapes on rootstock, strawberry plants & stone fruits.
Traceability System & Quality Control
All Charles’ Fresh produce undergoes strict quality inspection & control before packing & dispatch. We have developed our own traceability systems, allowing us to trace back any produce to its plot in a short time. This system enables us not to react immediately in case of any problems, but also supports us in evaluating & comparing produce harvested from different plots. All boxes are labeled with our unique traceability codes, & clients are advised on its inspection.
Cold Chain Visibility
Products are always stored at recommended temperature. Loading processes are executed in such a manner that the cold chain is not broken. From our cold stores at the farm to destination, temperature recorders monitor the temperature throughout the journey & make our cold chain transparent & controllable.
Insurance
During loading, all shipments are inspected by an accredited surveyor. Moreover, all shipments are insured under open cargo contracts with reputable insurance companies. We have issued shipment arrival policies to support our clients in case of any problems with produces upon arrival. Out technical team is on stand by around the clock to support our clients in case of such a situation. |
