AGF-Ververst: the new AGF training from Normec Foodcare

17 November 2025

Normec Maas Goodacre, the knowledge partner in AGF world is launching a new form of training in the field of product knowledge and product quality in 2026. A training that is in line with the latest new developments in the market and will cover the most important highlights per product group; a refresher course in AGF, which we are marketing under the name "AGF Ververst".

AGF-Ververst: the new AGF training from Normec Foodcare

Initially intended for AGF inspectors who have been working in the sector for some time and have followed previous P-modules, but this training is also open to anyone who wants to stay up-to-date on developments in the AGF sector that affect the product itself and its marketing.

Knowledge is still very important in the AGF sector; an inspector is expected to be aware of quality requirements and trends within the daily work. Laws and regulations change, customers come with their own specifications, seed breeders and growers switch to other varieties because of disease resistance and/or consumer perception.

In our P-modules we move with the times ... but as an inspector you don't want to retake the P-module every few years. The trainers of Normec Maas Goodacre understand this and therefore offer the AGF Ververst training at product group level. In which you can easily be updated on the developments within the AGF.

During one afternoon Peter van der Veeken or Ludo Tuijnman take you through:

Key points from the different products
New developments, such as chain developments, market trends, new varieties and retail requirements.
Practical cases, everyone knows the discussion about difficult defects and interpretation of customer specifications. On the basis of practical examples, we will discuss them together.
Tips and tricks for performing daily (inspection) work

In the first six months of 2026 we offer the following AGF freshener training courses at a very attractive price of € 225.00 per participant

You can register for these trainings via this link: https://normecfoodcare.com/training/agf-ververst/

If you prefer the AGF-Ververst or another AGF training as in-company training on your own work floor and focused on your specific products. No problem!
