Movement For Quality “We believe in Quality and work for it”

Movement For Quality Building Quality Assurance • Standardization of pre & post harvest practices • QM & QA for processed food sector (HACCP, ISO 9000 ISO 140000 • Information data bases • Human resource development – Quality improvement projets(VHT, X-Ray, CA • Upgradation & recognition of test labs • Assisting Exporters establish In-House QC Labs • Certifying Exporters as premium quality Exporters • Suppliers QA Programme Containers etc. )

CA Container Experiment • Extending the shelf life of mangoes, shipment of two consignments of mangoes - from India to U. K. using controlled atmosphere (CA Technology). • Pre harvest management practices, followed in the orchards , with modification to suit local conditions. • Export products selected directly from selected orchards • Trans shipment period - 23 days, total period from harvesting till it was sold, approximately 32 -35 days. • shelf life of mangoes from 30 to 40 days has been achieved in this year’s experiment. • It is proposed to conduct further trials for both stationery and commercial consignments during the next mango season.

Packaging & Labelling • Production & Packaging standards already under application • Bar code system followed • Complete Labelling system describing all contents, nutritional value and additives • Natural additives used in packaged foods

Processed Foods a New Chapter Organic Food Products - Advantage India • Organic farming practiced since centuries • Cattle fed on natural fodder • Biomass & Cowdung applied as natural manure

Organic Foods Current Situation in India : a large producer and exporter of agricultural and horticulture products both in fresh and processed forms.
