Quality Sourcing
We only source the best quality soybeans from the best quality soybean growers. Stringent quality control processes are in place at all stages from the seed, the grower, handling and transportation, processing and shipping. Hendrick AgriFoods certifies its product under CIPRS. All producers must grow certified seed and show proof of purchase of the seed. The producer must follow procedures detailed in our Grower Manual. These procedures deal with all areas of production including; seed, planting, crop protection and management, harvest, on-farm storage, transportation, elevator receiving and storage elevating, delivery, loading, audit standards and IP Certification. For example; Our growers are required to grow only identity preserved soybeans in a specified area of their farm. Fields must be kept weed free and inspected during the growing season. Any container or truck used for shipping identity preserved soybeans is to be thoroughly checked for any leakage or damage problems and thoroughly inspected for cleanliness prior to loading.
Hendrick AgriFoods looks for mutually beneficial opportunities with the growers and the buyers. We listen to concerns and suggestions of our growers for improvement and address them in order to build strong relationships and raise the International Reputation for Excellence of Eastern Ontario's Best Soybean Producers. We pay attention to grower's and buyer's concerns and therefore, in return expect accountability from them. The food quality responsibility continuum starts with the customer and trickles all the way down to the grower. In other words, if the end customer is not happy with the final product, he questions the retailer, the retailer questions the manufacturer, the manufacturer questions the distributor, and so the chain ends at the growers' doorstep.
