To ensure delivery of high quality, safe produce to our customers, we have incorporated a comprehensive quality assurance program that covers activities in our field, packing and transportation operations. This comprehensive program includes Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP), Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Good Agricultural Practices (GAP).

In addition to HACCP, we use Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) in our packing, cooling and shipping operations and Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) in our field operations. This comprehensive quality assurance effort ensures a steady supply of high quality, safe produce for our customers worldwide.

Farm Operation • Organizing groups of growers in selected areas to grow and supply premium fresh produces to Swift's packhouses. • Risk assessments are carried out on all major factors from land use to soil, water and cross contamination. • The 3 types of farming practices carried out by growers: Conventional farming under EUREP GAP; Agro-chemical free farming; and Organic farming.

Farm auditing • Our zone-agronomists conduct regular internal auditing of growers' farms. • Independent internal auditing is carried out by experienced agronomists from Swift's head office. • Our agronomists are trained and certified on HACCP systems and EUREP GAP auditing. • Certification of EUREP GAP and organic farming practices are carried by licensed Certifying Board annually.

Collection & grading (Harvesting) • Collection stations or “Physical markets” are located right in the growing areas. • Weighing and grading are transparently carried out at the stations. • Labeling of plot-codes and growers' names is a part of the Swift's traceability system.

Pack house and Processing • Our packing facilities are built for processing & packing purpose with GMP certification. • Different types of facilities are designed to accommodate different types of processing. • Processing of fresh produce is under the system of HACCP and BRC - A Grade . • Organic and conventional products are processed separately.

Packing, palletizing, pre-cooling • Packing line personnel continue to monitor fruit for compliance with appearance, color, shape and size uniformity, absence of damage, consistency in container weights, and consistency in individual fruit weight as specified by FDI guidelines. • Critical information is documented for each FDI package to facilitate tracking. • Pallets are inspected regularly for general physical condition.

• Critical information for each pallet is identified and documented. • Our personnel follow strict guidelines for implementing our entire conditioning operation. We pre-cool our fruit using forced-air systems. Temperatures are adjusted according to the level of maturity. We closely monitor pulp temperatures, room temperature, relative humidity and cooling rates as well.

Transportation & Documentation • Our quality assurance team carefully inspects every truck and container for cleanliness, absence of odors, physical conditions, walls and ceiling, hermetic sealing, and anchoring. • Our truck refrigeration systems are regularly inspected. • Our quality assurance personnel verify all documentation, from arrival to the packinghouse to post-transportation.
