Our job at QAI is to verify that the organic integrity is maintained.

The QAI Certification Program is designed to certify every step of the organic chain:

From the land on which the product is grown; to the producers growing the product; to the post-harvest facilities preparing the product; to the processing and handling facilities transforming the product.

Land Post Harvest Distributors Private Label Producers Processors Restaurants Retailers

Since 1989, QAI's diligence, at every link in the organic production chain, continues to provide assurance that the actual product destined to enter into market distribution is indeed organic.

QAI is committed to the ongoing education of the organic community and consumers. For this reason, our experienced QAI staff members are often asked to present information on organic certification to various industry groups. We at QAI welcome the opportunity to collaborate with our clients through presentations or by providing published materials on organic issues.
