Fresh Produce Inspection in Turkey
Inspection of fresh fruit and vegetables at orchards, greenhouses, packhouses and cold stores, using UNECE and EU marketing standards and your own retail specifications.
Fresh Produce Inspection in practice
Fresh produce leaves no time for disputes. Our inspectors check class, sizing, colour, maturity and defects on the packhouse floor, measure pulp temperature and Brix where required, and stay for loading. Reports reach you before the truck clears the gate, which gives you time to reject, re-sort or re-price.

Questions about fresh produce inspection
Not covered here? Ask us directly.
Can you inspect at the orchard before harvest?
Yes. Pre-harvest visits are useful for checking crop condition, maturity and spray records, and for planning sampling for residues before the fruit is packed.
Which standard do you use for fresh produce?
The UNECE standard for the product, EU marketing standards where the destination is the EU, and your retail specification where it is stricter. We use OECD explanatory brochures to interpret defects consistently.
