OUR PERFORMANCE
MauriGAP certification (Synergy and self-sufficiency)
Gros Cailloux is gradually transitioning its production methods to more regenerative practices for healthier environmental and social impacts. The company has initiated the process to comply with the MauriGAP (Good Agricultural Practices) Certification Standard. MauriGAP is an initiative of the Ministry of Agro-Industry and Food Safety, in collaboration with FAREI, that attests the quality of fruits and vegetables production. The certification offers access to new and more remunerative markets, demonstrates respect for the environment, natural resources and worker safety, and provides assurance to customers about the safe consumption of our products. The vegetables which have been selected for certification are potatoes, onions, onion seeds, pumpkins and carrots. The certification audit is planned for end 2022.
MauriGAP certification is a steppingstone to our targeted GLOBALGAP certification (an international standard for agricultural production). This is a basic quality assurance programme that sets out certain requirements for food safety while ensuring sustainable production practices. It provides for traceability of production practices, offers cost-effective solutions, promotes market access and helps producers achieve progressive recognition.
