Objective insight into the condition of your products
The quality of potatoes, vegetables and fruit directly determines your market position. Deviations in temperature, ripeness or packaging can lead to rejection, claims or loss of confidence.
Productkeur AGF gives you objective insight into the condition of your products, whether it concerns container inspections, stock checks or inspections during loading. So you keep a grip on quality in every link of the chain.
Independent quality checks
Our inspectors carry out independent quality checks for importers, exporters, forwarders, retailers and suppliers. The assessment is made on the basis of European standards and additional customer specifications. During inspection we measure and assess, among other things:
- Product temperature and hardness
- Sugar content, weight and size
- Internal and external quality
- Condition of pallets, boxes and labels
We evaluate the results with you and provide additional advice on shelf life and product development.

Qualified AGF inspectors
Our inspections are carried out by certified AGF inspectors with extensive experience at home and abroad. They compare batches with large quantities of fruit and vegetables inspected worldwide.
This broad reference allows us to assign an objective and market-based score. Our specialization includes exotics and overseas fruit.
Future-oriented improvement
We process all findings in a transparent and clear report that we explain verbally. In this way all actions are clear and traceable. If required, we perform additional research, such as residue analyses, microbiological research, gas measurements, checking container settings and reading temperature recorders.
This not only gives you insight into the current quality, but also tools to limit future risks.

Do you have doubts about the results of an inspection? You can also come to us for a second opinion.

We mediate between the parties involved and we are not satisfied until all parties involved agree on the final solution.
