Traceability
Every batch we export is QR-traceable to its cooperative of origin — a single, unbroken record from smallholder plot to verified shipment.
How It Works
Five steps, one unbroken record
Each stage adds to the same traceable record, so nothing about a batch is guessed after the fact.
Farm & cooperative origin
Produce is sourced from registered smallholder plots and women-led cooperatives, each linked to a known field of origin.
Harvest & hand-sorting
Crops are hand-picked and manually sorted at collection, protecting quality from the first hour after harvest.
Cold chain & packing
Product is cooled and packed to European specifications under a continuous field-to-export cold chain.
QR batch coding
Each batch is assigned a QR code that ties the finished pack back to its cooperative and harvest window.
Verified export
Shipments leave under GlobalG.A.P., HACCP, and Rwanda GAP standards — auditable end to end.
QR Traceability
Scan the code on any pack to trace it straight back to the cooperative that grew it.
Buyers and consumers get the same view we do: origin, harvest window, and the standards the batch was cleared under.
Garden Fresh Packhouse
Securing quality from intake to export
At our Garden Fresh Packhouse in the Free Trade Zone, Kigali, every step is managed to meet the demands of premium export buyers — on sanitised surfaces, in line with GlobalG.A.P. and HACCP food safety standards.
Intake & temperature checks
Each arrival undergoes temperature checks, with logs recording any heat exposure during transport.
Inspection & grading
Batches are inspected for wind, sunburn, insect, or mechanical defects, then sorted and graded to international class standards (Extra, Class 1, Class 2).
Pre-cooling
Pre-cooling at 16 °C is applied where required, preserving freshness and reducing respiration before export.
Sanitation
Water and approved sanitisers are used for comprehensive cleaning throughout the process.
QR-coded packing
Final packaging in export-ready cartons or crates, each carrying a QR code detailing farmer, cooperative, harvest date, and compliance record.
Audit-ready logs
Rejection rates, packing volumes, and shipment status are documented in digital logs, ready for audit or buyer review.
