Consulting Service / Supplier Selection

First Crop Trade Consulting offers competent advice for the evaluation

and selection of future suppliers, an essential process for the

successful implementation of the direct-import procurement strategy.

 

Our advice factors in the analysis of all essential aspects of supplier selection:

 

- Quality management and mechanisms of control

- Infrastructure of the company, technical and logistical conditions

- Food safety through the supply chain

- CSR - Corporate Social Responsibility

- Traceability of the products

 

In the following, decisive step, we accompany you on inspection visits to

processing plants in the countries of origin.

 

Within the scope of numerous inspections of production plants and plantations in many

producing countries, we have gathered valuable knowledge regarding the different aspects of

cultivation, pre- and post-harvest treatment and the processing of agricultural commodities.

 

In order to respond effectively to constantly increasing demands on food safety, we enhance our practical experience in supplier selection through careful updating with the requirements for the internal auditor according to the IFS Food Standard.
