Total Quality
Satisfying an ever more discerning consumers' appetite for an increasingly broad variety of fresh produce - without compromising on quality - is the single largest challenge which Total Produce faces and it is one in which it consistently succeeds.
Commitment to quality is the central tenet of its business, one expressed through an integrated quality strategy which permeates throughout the entire supply chain.
It is a commitment that does not just meet legislative requirements but embraces the pursuit of best practice in everything that the company does.
"Commitment to quality is the central tenet of its business"
A pro-active and enthusiastic participant in production, Total Produce retains an on-the-ground presence in all the major growing regions of the world. It is a policy that allows the company to:
- - put experienced quality personnel in place
- - evaluate potential suppliers
- - provide technical expertise where needed, and
- - investigate and implement innovation.
A sophisticated logistical infrastructure, encompassing state-of-the-art transportation, storage and distribution facilities, ensures the integrity of the supply chain around the world.
On arrival in Europe, teams of Quality Assurance personnel apply stringent specifications, subjecting produce to scrupulous testing before despatch to trading partners across the continent.
Total Produce recognises that its responsibilities extend beyond the retailer's back door, working closely with trade partners to ensure best practice in presentation and storage to deliver premium produce in pristine condition to the ultimate consumer.
The combination of all these measures and a culture within the company to prioritise all quality-related matters, contributes to a consistency and quality of fruit and vegetables that marks Total Produce apart.
