Free online market access tool
Are you a processor or producer entering a new market? Not sure if you can meet your customer or regulatory requirements? There is a new resource that can help get you on your way.
Meeting Customer Requirements is a free, online resource developed by Alberta Agriculture and Forestry to guide producers and processors through the necessary steps to consistently meet market, standards and regulatory requirements.
This tool helps producers and food processors to evaluate their current ability to meet new requirements; create an action plan to address gaps; maintain their system through an internal audit; and prove they are meeting requirements through an external audit.
Meeting Customer Requirements started as a tool to help producers understand the terms of their contracts, and has expanded to prepare processors to meet the requirements of regulations, contracts, and customer requirements.
