APMS growers are all quality assured under SQF 1000 multi site Quality Assurance.
APMS's SQF 1000 growers need only keep records regarding the growing of the fruit. Packhouse quality assurance is costly in both time and money. Using the services of APMS will greatly reduce the costs of yearly audits, record keeping and SQF headaches.
The APMS QA is ready to implement an environmental management system (EMS). This system will see APMS well into the current business environment which is dealing with climate change and an increasing awareness of environmental issues by consumers.

APMS organises a grower supply scheme which gives growers the advantage of getting the right product at the cheapest possible price. Each year a supply list is put out to tender to businesses in the region. The successful tender is given a list of APMS growers who are eligible for the special pricing.

APMS holds a Bi-Annual Grower Conference. These conferences consist of field walks which arecommentated and guided by the grower with expert commentary. The afternoon sessions usually consist of expert guest speakers and evening entertainment.

Our growers are also able to access discounted agronomy services with Pioneer Orchard Management Services (see POMS page)
