Quality control

Quality management at every stage

Caila Farms supervises quality throughout the entire sourcing cycle, from farm level to final export preparation. Our local presence allows continuous monitoring and ensures that buyer specifications are clearly implemented at each stage.

EU compliance lab testing

Laboratory testing aligned with European requirements

Testing can be conducted at multiple stages of the supply chain, with residue testing aligned to MRL requirements according to the buyer's target market and standards.

  • At farm level during harvest period
  • At packing station during sorting and packing
  • Prior to export shipment

This structured testing approach allows buyers to reduce compliance risks and ensure that products meet import requirements.
