Quality & Traceability

Quality & Traceability…To support this work, continuous training and support sessions are delivered, and food grade harvesting and drying materials provided. Furthermore, every beekeeper and wild coffee collector has a unique ID number. This enables us to record the coffee and/or honey that each person collects. Both honey and coffee are controlled for quality when they are first brought to the harvesting or drying centre. Harvests that fall below the necessary quality standard are rejected at that point, being sold instead to local market traders. Those products that meet the initial quality standard are collected, recorded and processed to the next stage. Use of the bespoke traceability system enables us to identify the person who brought the product and to work with them to address and further improve any quality issues that are identified further down the value chains.
