As any supplier of fresh produce will be well aware, food items such as vegetables, fresh fruit, berries, beans, corn, nuts, grains, and cereals must be shipped and stored swiftly after harvesting.
This type of produce must also be stored in a protective environment to ensure that it does not start to spoil before it reaches consumers.
Thanks to the time-sensitive nature of fresh produce, therefore, any disruptions to a producer’s supply chain or problems surrounding food storage conditions can impair product quality and cause a raft of new problems surrounding health and safety and consumer satisfaction. In this way, it is vitally important for suppliers of fresh produce to ensure that they double-check the state of the items they intend to sell both when they leave the packaging facility or form and, indeed, when it arrives at its destination. They must also attend to any problems that may hinder the supply chain and rectify them as soon as possible.
For businesses hoping to purchase containers of fresh produce as part of their goods and services offering, it is important to double-check that this produce is fresh, delicious and safe to eat. This is where we come in.

Dedicated Produce Inspection Report
A detailed report with inspection results and photographs will be delivered to you by email on the same day as the inspection is performed.
The report will also be available in your personal QIMA dashboard, accessible online and on mobile, giving you the flexibility to make informed decisions for your shipment – any place, any time. Access to reports can be shared and controlled between retailers and suppliers.
Product quality
The quality of fruit and vegetable products can be assessed against EU and UNECE standards or customer specifications. Our inspections mainly focus on the external and internal product quality, which is usually determined visually. The state of ripeness, the firmness, the nature and degree of diseases and defects, the presentation and the sugar content (°Brix) can also be determined during an inspection.
Reports
Other aspects, such as designations, packaging, temperature, sorting and content weight, can also be part of the quality inspection. Measuring and weighing instruments are used for a number of these. Photos are also taken. Our reports, which include visual material, are sent directly to the clients after the inspection and stored in a database.
