Defining your fresh produce quality control requirements with Farmsoft:
Fresh produce fruit quality control is an essential aspect of the agricultural industry. It refers to the measures and techniques used to maintain the quality of fruits and vegetables, from the time they are harvested until they are consumed. The process involves identifying, evaluating, and eliminating defects or abnormalities that could affect the freshness, safety, and nutritional value of the produce. Quality control is critical because it ensures that consumers get fresh and safe products, which are not only beneficial to their health but also contribute to the economy.
In conclusion, fresh produce quality control is crucial for the agricultural industry's success and the health and safety of consumers. It helps to maintain the nutritional value of the produce, ensure its safety, maintain its aesthetic appeal, reduce waste, support sustainability, and maintain consumer trust.

QMS and quality control for fruit and vegetable, processing, food manufacturing
Is a system whereby fresh produce is processed in a a batch, and may in turn be used in other batches, and those batches may in turn be used in additional batches and so on. This is a common practice when processing fresh produce where the harvest needs to be mixed together, is graded or sorted, then packed with other produce at a later time. This practice is also common in food processing and value adding processes, where an input to one batch may in turn be used in many other batches.

Many competitor fresh produce solutions do not support cascading traceability.
