Implementation of quality certification in tomato production

The Mancera Cooperative Society implemented the GLOBALG.A.P. quality certification in tomato crops, aiming to establish a product of added value, while maintaining the Cooperative’s commitment to promote safe and sustainable production processes.
The certification body Agrocolor was entrusted with the consultancy and advisory work for Mancera’s members, to implement the quality and safety protocols needed for the granting of the quality certification. The application of these protocols has led to an improvement in the marketing of their tomatoes. The protocols have led to changes in the production organisation in terms of management, infrastructure, maintenance and production processes, while guaranteeing environmental sustainability.
