Growers and growers associations

Growers, growers associations and trading companies that ship their products directly from growers can call in Kiwa AQS to monitor the quality of fresh produce. This can be done once or regularly. Kiwa AQS can also make a decision as an independent party in the event of conflicts between growers and their buyers. In addition to a visual assessment of the external and internal quality, diseases and defects, matters such as size sorting, content weight, hardness, sugar content (°Brix) and palletization can also be checked.
