The internal quality department performs quality checks by sampling their fruits based on color, size, and quality. Fruits then go to manual selection tables, where fruits are classified by size and quality. Afterward, external verification units perform random sampling on packages and boxes to review the quality, color, and absence of fungi. After such a quality assurance process, the packed pallets can be shipped.
Quality check on samples is also done by external verification units, such as government and licensed auditors, before shipments are loaded in containers, and the final departure of any shipment. Government-related certifications, such as SENASICA and NorMex, impose the external quality checks described above.
Third party inspections are mandatory for every exporting company. These inspections are stricter and more thorough for markets, such as the EU, South Korea, and Russia, compared to the markets in USA, Canada, and Japan. Producers pay for these external inspections.
