Company Identity/Aims and Objectives
At Qways we take a very practical view of organic production and processing as an increasingly important part of the Greek's farming business.
The organisation’s associates, our agronomists and food experts are bringing a lot of scientific and professional experience in Greek Organic Farming.
Our aim through the development of our services is to offer all our clients a professional, user-friendly Inspection and Certification service for organic food and farm products in Greece.
We try to provide farmers and processors with a valuable marketing tool and a label of organic quality which appears on many vegetables, meat and processed goods produced in Greece and sold both at home and on an expanding export market. This internationally respected quality mark offers consumers an assurance of the integrity of organically grown produce and safeguards the interests of organic producers.
The aims of the QWays are to:
- Increase the demand for Greek organic produce by promotion at all levels and by all appropriate means.
- Encourage the acceptance of quality standards for Greek organic produce and establish appropriate codes of practise.
- Encourage the development of appropriate marketing structures within the organic sector.
- Provide a forum and lobby to enable Ministry of Agriculture, AGROCERT, advisory and research establishments, the agricultural bodies and other organisations to be properly advised on matters concerning organic production in Greece.
- Work to financially stable businesses for all Greek organic producers.
- Maintain high quality standards of organic farming and processing and the dissemination of good practice among all QWays members.
- Raise public awareness of Qways’s role in meeting the demand for certified organic produce through the use of its organic certification label.
- Collaborate with others in strengthening the infrastructure for the production and marketing of organic food grown in Greece and E.U.
- Collect data from QWays members and support research to improve information and assist policy development covering all aspects of the Greek organic industry.
