What this means. GLOBALG.A.P. certifies good agricultural practice on the farm. It is not an import approval. Each destination has its own plant health and food safety rules, which we check for every product and country.
Six steps, one accountable company
Planting programme
Herbs are planted on a weekly programme, so cutting continues through the year.
Harvest to order
Herbs are cut and chillies hand picked to your order, early in the morning when it is coolest.
Graded at the farm
Produce is graded, trimmed and packed at the farm to your specification, including private label.
Cooled and kept cold
Product is cooled at the farm and kept in the cold chain to departure. Basil has its own temperature range.
Coded and documented
Every carton carries a lot code. KEPHIS issues the phytosanitary certificate where your market requires one.
Shipped to you
By air from Nairobi (JKIA). Avocados also travel in reefer containers from Mombasa.
How we control quality
Integrated pest management, with residue analysis against the maximum residue levels of the destination market.
Avocados are tested for dry matter before harvest. Herbs and chillies are graded and trimmed at the farm after cutting.
Cartons carry a lot code that links the product to the field, harvest date and pack line.
Phytosanitary certificates are issued by KEPHIS, the Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service, where the destination requires one.
By air from Nairobi, by sea from Mombasa
Kadal Swift Freight Limited, the company behind Kadal Fresh, arranges forwarding and export documentation. Routes, transit times and departure days are confirmed with each order, because they depend on the airline or shipping line at the time of booking.
