BASC Certification Supports Celifrut as a Reliable Partner

At Celifrut, safety and transparency are our commitment for the export of Colombian citrus. For this reason, we took on the challenge of obtaining BASC certification, which represents a significant step for us in consolidating a supply chain that protects traceability and logistical integrity.

This achievement was the result of a sustained effort involving months of preparation, internal training, process reviews, and the strengthening of each control that structures our operations. At Celifrut, we work with discipline to ensure full compliance with the rigorous BASC standards.

This international system focuses on prevention and aims to ensure that participating companies maintain secure processes against threats such as terrorism, illicit financing, and money laundering. In this context, suppliers and clients are considered business partners, and each must meet specific criteria to guarantee a risk free commercial relationship. At Celifrut, this responsible interaction has further strengthened our ties with partners who share our values and respect for ethical trade.

As Colombia’s export sector continues to grow, the challenges faced in international logistics also increase. BASC controls help minimize the likelihood of cargo being contaminated or misused. This includes risks such as the introduction of illicit substances, prohibited items, or any attempt at external tampering. Through these guidelines, we strengthen the security not only of our products, but also of the communities and territories where we operate.

Additionally, the certification fosters a preventive culture within the company. Every team participates in identifying risks, applying protocols, and monitoring best practices. In this way, security becomes a collective effort that goes beyond operations and becomes part of the very essence of our company. This shared vision has allowed Celifrut to consolidate stronger, clearer processes that are better prepared to meet the demands of the international market.

It is also important to highlight that BASC promotes continuous improvement, as it is not just about meeting audit requirements but maintaining an ongoing process of updates that responds to new global challenges and the needs of business partners. For this reason, at Celifrut, we embrace this standard as a commitment renewed every day, reaffirming our role as a reliable partner in the export of high-quality citrus.

This achievement drives us to continue growing with integrity, commitment, and a strong dedication to excellence in our processes.
