When fresh fruit arrives at the market from suppliers, it doesn’t always meet the expected
quality standards. This can occur due to mishandling during transportation or a lack of
proper quality control at the producer level before shipment. As a result, it is essential for
both shippers and receivers to hire an independent surveyor to assess the fruit's quality
and investigate any causes of deterioration.

At IMLARCO, we are committed to protecting your interests with our team of highly trained
and experienced surveyors. Our professionals are skilled in food product inspections and

What We Inspect

Our inspection process is thorough and based on representative sampling. The criteria for
sampling include the grower’s specifications, pack date, size indications, and fruit
varieties. Using specialized measuring equipment, we inspect each sample (typically a box
of fruit) to evaluate the following:

• External Quality: Assessing the visual appearance of the fruit, including skin
condition, color, and presence of blemishes.

• Internal Quality: Checking the internal condition, such as ripeness, texture, and the
presence of any internal damage.

• Net Weight per Box: Verifying the weight of the product to ensure consistency and
compliance with agreed specifications.

• Product Temperature: Measuring the temperature of the fruit to ensure it is stored
and transported within optimal conditions.

• Sugar Content: For products like grapes, mandarins, and oranges, we measure the
sugar content to ensure the expected sweetness and ripeness.

• Firmness: For fruits like mangoes, apples, pears, and plums, we assess the
firmness to determine maturity and shelf life potential.

• Shelf Life Expectancy: Estimating the fruit’s expected shelf life, considering factors
such as ripeness and overall quality.
