Agricola El Nazario, a member of our agricultural community Veggies from Mexico constantly provides training to all areas of the company. Justino Jeremias Perez Hernandez provides constant training to its employees on Good Agricultural Practices, Good Manufacturing Practices, and Good Use and Handling of Agrochemicals.

Some of the Good Agricultural Practices that were discussed during the training were water management, the importance of water for the company’s exports how a plan should be implemented from the field to the packing area, and the frequency with which inspections and tests should be carried out for optimal use.

The agrochemicals subject was also discussed; how to keep control through safety sheets, cleaning procedures, and order where they are located and how staff should use personal protective equipment. The importance of hygiene for product safety was also discussed, since having cleanliness policies and standards ensures that the food produced is healthy and safe.

In the Good Manufacturing Practices training, some of the measures and recommendations that should be established in the company’s facilities were mentioned, such as the importance of signs on the packaging, such as the evacuation route, safety zone, electrical risk, etc. The packaging facilities must have the characteristics that should be in contact with the product to minimize the risk of contamination; for example: they must be flat and easy to clean.

With this expertise, Agricola El Nazario’s food safety team can handle any situation that may arise at any stage of food production. It also benefits the entire company, since the staff that has the knowledge shares it with the other members and can count on a team that is trained in all areas.

For Agricola El Nazario, training is one of the key activities in the implementation of its food safety programs and compliance with its SENASICA, GlobalG.A.P., and PrimusGFS certifications.
