In the framework of the inauguration of the IV National Congress of Plant Health and Food Safety in the city of Culiacan, the awards were given to 14 companies that received Eleven Rivers Certification for quality in their production processes.
Francisco Campaña representative of the board of Eleven Rivers, mentioned in his speech the great challenges that the agro-export horticulture sector faces today, such as the entry into force of FSMA regulations of the United States, the renegotiation of the Free Trade with North America and the constant threats that lurk us both in the issue of food safety and social responsibility, which puts us in a highly vulnerable position; It forces us to act with greater caution, awareness, and commitment.
He mentions that “we participate in a highly competitive sector and full of new challenges, which requires us to constantly evolve to meet the new requirements of the market. That is why the producers of Sinaloa through Eleven Rivers have committed ourselves to go further, innovating in the field of certification, with a scheme that audits and verifies all the facilities of the company: field, packaging and shelter “.
