To move into high-value markets (like supermarkets or international exports), certain “gatekeeper” requirements must be met.
- Certification & Standards: Understanding GlobalGAP, organic certifications, and local food safety standards.
- Packaging & Branding: Moving from bulk unbranded goods to retail-ready, packaged products that command a premium price.
- Labelling: Ensuring compliance with nutritional and origin-marking laws.
