AgriQ starts Joint Venture with global Certification company MPS

 

AgriQ has entered into a joint venture with the global certification company MPS. MPS certifies farms on the bases of strict online registration and holds certification schemes on sustainability, reliability of growers, hygiene and social aspects of production mostly for floriculture.

 

The joint venture with AgriQ, MPS Fruits and Vegetables (www.mps-food.com) will offer this complete and transparant system now also to the Horticultural sector.

 

"With this cooperation we are able to focus more on the real aspects behind the need to monitoring pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables", says Reinder van der Meer, CEO of AgriQ. "By establishing an objective and independent tool to assess the reliability of growers, buyers will be able to buy their products based on long term relations and proven reliability instead of the need for analytical reports for each container". 

 

The system will show a score for participating companies. Scores that show excellence in all aspects of the system can be awarded with the product label Vita Certa.
