| Banana quality begins with the grower. And although
all our farms are grower-owned, we don't stop there.
Under our Farm Certification Program, each Turbana grower
is evaluated monthly for quality of cultivation, fruit protection,
harvesting, packing and transportation. Only certified growers
are allowed to pack fruit for Turbana's chain store and private
label customers in North America. It's one important way we
ensure a continuous supply of optimum quality fruit.
At each port location, Turbana has port operations and quality
control (QC) staff who inspects the fruit before it is loaded
onto customers' trucks. The QC staff can also assist customers
with technical questions on ripening, handling and storage
analysis.
