Quality Management Protocols

Consistently delivering the best quality to market is not an accident. Quality assurance starts well before any seed is sown. Site selection, soil preparation and planting conditions are all integral precursors to assuring best quality products.

Our crops are then managed by dedicated agronomists, who grow, harvest and pack to our customers’ specifications.

Post Harvest

Quality cannot be improved after harvest, only maintained; therefore it is important to harvest fruit and vegetables at peak quality. Immature or over mature produce may not last as long in storage as that picked at the ideal maturity. 

LeaderBrand has invested huge research into understanding how to maintain the highest level of freshness and quality.
