When the fresh fruit reaches the final markets from the suppliers, its quality is not always as good as it should, either because it has been mishandled during transportation or because it lacks an adequate quality control at the producer level, before being shipped.

This is why it is necessary for the cargo interests whether the receiver or the shipper to hire an independent surveyor to assess the fruit quality and to investigate the cause of deterioration.

At IMLARCO, you can rest assured that your interest is well served through a welltrained surveyor.

Our surveyors are well experienced in food products inspection and possess the right knowledge to deliver the right service. They are always on standby to perform any instruction.

Our surveyors bring varied expertise from technology to insurance and transport.

With a cumulative fruit insurance and claims experience in different countries, we have put together a very succinct technology which focuses on helping growers increase trust with their service providers. We cut to the chase and deliver on our promises.

The inspection will be carried out based on representative sampling, depending on grower, pack date, size indications, varieties etc. Making use of special measuringequipment, we will visually inspect representative samples (boxes) to investigate at least:

• The external quality

• The internal quality

• The net weight per box

• The product temperature

• The sugar content (grapes, mandarins, oranges etc.)

• The firmness (mangoes apples, pears, plums etc.)

• The expected shelf life of the product

• The box, the conditions, the palletizing, presentation, labels etc.
