We help cultivar owners protect and manage their plant varieties within South Africa by aligning with local agricultural regulations and market requirements. Our tailored approach covers everything from plant material tracking to harvest volume controls. When issues arise, we guide you through the best resolution path. Each variety is unique—so we create custom action plans aligned with your operational goals and compliance needs.
Food Safety Management System (FSMS) Consulting
We support farms and processing units in implementing, maintaining, and improving Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS) tailored to their operations. Whether you're starting from scratch, onboarding new key staff, or seeking assurance that your current system is compliant, we adapt our approach to meet your needs. Our focus is on building internal knowledge and self-sufficiency—empowering your team to confidently manage food safety long after our consultation ends.
Export Compliance Support for Fresh Produce
We help fresh produce exporters meet market-specific compliance requirements from field to final destination. Our team works closely with smaller exporters to open access to new markets, ensuring alignment with client expectations and regulatory standards. When needed, we negotiate compliance-related matters on your behalf and provide guidance when unexpected issues arise—ensuring your product reaches its destination with minimal disruption.
Supply Program Management
Managing a supply program can be complex—we’re here to simplify it. We offer tailored support based on your specific needs, including supply volume tracking, pre-season and marketing planning, execution oversight, and post-program reporting. Whether you need full program management or targeted assistance, we ensure your supply chain runs smoothly from planning to delivery.
Supplier Compliance & Control Support
Reliable supplier management is essential for consistent, compliant supply. We help you maintain full oversight by building and managing a tailored supplier database, allowing you to match the right suppliers with specific client requirements. Our system tracks key compliance documents and certifications—ensuring you're always prepared to meet customer specifications with confidence.
FSMS Internal & Second-Party Auditing
While we are not a certification body, our team includes qualified, registered food safety auditors with experience across various FSMS standards. We offer independent second-party audits for retailers, as well as internal auditing services. These audits help you assess readiness, maintain compliance, and improve system performance. Please note: in line with ethical practices, we do not audit sites where we provide FSMS consulting, to avoid any conflict of interest.
Targeted Agricultural Research
When answers aren’t readily available, we research them for you. Our team conducts focused, reputable research on agricultural topics specific to your business needs—helping you make informed decisions and improve operations. If we don’t already have the expertise in-house, we’ll source it through credible, human-led methods—never AI-generated content—ensuring reliable and practical insights.
Operational Data Analysis
Your data holds powerful insights—if interpreted correctly. We help you make sense of large, complex datasets by cleaning, organizing, and presenting the information in a clear, actionable format. From comparing weather patterns to orchard performance, to tracking productivity, affordability, and sustainability—we turn your records into strategic tools for better business decisions.
Product Development Support
While we don’t create products in-house, we guide you through the development process—from concept refinement to connecting you with the right partners. Leveraging our extensive network across raw materials, processing, and packaging, we help you transform your existing product base into new market-ready offerings efficiently and strategically.
