We are committed to a quality product
Certification
Agrico BioSelect supplies strong potato varieties for organic cultivation. As our growers are members of the Agrico cooperative, we have clear arrangements with trusted growers who boost quality during the early stages by using the right propagation materials and following the right cultivation processes on site.
Certificates are mandatory to guarantee food safety standards are met. Each potato segment has its laws and requirements and, of course, Agrico BioSelect complies with these laws and legislation. During the cultivation process the approach is monitored and checked, allowing us to supply the right product with the right quality along with the correct certificates.
Below we explain a few of our certificates.
GlobalG.A.P.
The GLOBALG.A.P. certificate enables Agrico to demonstrate that it complies with the standard for proper business operations, food safety, sustainability and quality in cultivation and the supply chain.
Demeter
The Demeter quality mark strengthens biodynamic (BD) agriculture. This quality mark is applied to products originating from controlled BD agriculture. Demeter quality is guaranteed through a certification system for biodynamic farmers and for the processors of their products
SKAL
This inspection organization checks whether organic products comply with European regulations. Agrico works fully in accordance with the requirements of SKAL certification.
QS
The QS quality scheme for food is the leading standard for food safety in Germany and stands for quality assurance from farm to shop. QS certified products can be recognized by the QS certification mark. It signals the cross-stage compliance with the QS standards for the production and marketing of meat and meat products, fruit, vegetables and potatoes as well as assured processes and the quality of the products.
Strict rules apply to all participating companies in Germany and abroad, for example regarding traceability and hygiene. Auditors and independent certification bodies check regularly whether all requirements are met. As a scheme participant of QS, Agrico complies with the requirements of the QS scheme.
