We realize that farmers all over the country have had a difficult ride in their struggle with Mother-Nature and to confront the market. Both fronts seem to be invincible and have colluded to punish the farmers by taking turns.

Praying may help ease the pains of a failed crop, but the application of the right production technology would better ensure that the crop survive the onslaught of pests and disease. The farmer who complained that the traders and the consumers could never appreciate his best grown fruit would need to reassess what quality is all about. It is like happiness – we are never satisfied, but its pursuit is the happiest part of the game.

So, what does a Tropical Fruit and Vegetable Development Person do?   

First, we have an idea what consumers want and what the market is not providing them. We then go seek out farmers who are willing and committed to work with us to fill the gaps in the market. Together with these farmers we produce the best quality produce with the best agriculture practices. We provide these farmers with training of good agriculture knowledge and effective techniques to produce the fruit and vegetables that are wholesome, tasty, hygienic and safe to eat. Then we trade these fruits in the best market place, for the best price, time and time again.

We supply our produce to the domestic supermarkets and the supermarkets in EU.

We are environmentalist converts. We have a commitment to control our farm production processes to ensure that they are environmentally sustainable. We ensure that the natural resources are used efficiently, and that the farmers and the packers do not add any more damage to the fragile ecosystem that we are left with in the present day.

We are aware of the global and micro-climate change and the impacts it has on our farmers. We face it everyday. Our noon days now are hotter and the rains fall harder. Thrips are having a better feed on our fruits and Anthracnose make new patchworks on our vegetables.

Using larger amounts and more toxic pesticides to solve the increasing pest and disease problems only hurt our pockets and damage our plants. We resort to going back-to-basic and the common sense approach in raising the plants and tending to the trees. We learn to understand and work with the weather.
 
We support and promote GAP - Good Agriculture Practice. This is a system of agriculture farm practice that implement sustainable agricultural approaches such as integrated pest management, integrated crop management, plant nutrient management and conservation agriculture. We have developed the K-Farm GAP QMS. This is the farm Quality Management System that our farmers work with to achieve a safe, efficient and profitable production.

We are GlobalGAP® accredited. We have earned this accreditation.
