About Us
Eleven Rivers was born in 2009 to meet the responsibility of offering consumers fresh, healthy, safe and sustainable products.
Eleven Rivers presents a new concept in the market. It is a scheme that can certify horticultural producers of Mexico and that includes the main requirements that consumers, buyers and government agencies seek globally.
The Eleven Rivers hallmark seeks to improve the performance of companies in the areas of food safety, process quality, traceability as well as social and environmental responsibility; all of these aspects are verified on a weekly basis, to ensure continued compliance of the Mexican horticultural products.
We are a non-profit non-governmental organization.
Certification Process
1.- Training
Training programs are implemented for producers, agricultural technicians, staff of Eleven Rivers and staff of third party bodies.
2.- Diagnostics
Every grower who chooses to enter to the Eleven Rivers program, start with a diagnostic stage of all their facilities, executed by the Eleven Rivers technical team.
3.- Implementation
After the Diagnostic, the Eleven Rivers technical team collaborates with the company technical staff on implementing the work program.
4.- Certification
Once the Eleven Rivers technical team determined that the grower complies with the evaluation criteria according to the certification scheme, an NSF certification audit is scheduled.
5.- Verification
Certified growers are verified by ANCE in a weekly basis. This validation frequency ensures continuous compliance of the enterprises.
