Programa de agricultura sustentable Grupo Herdez

Programa de Sustentabilidad Agrícola

El objetivo del Programa de Sustentabilidad Agrícola es generar productos alimenticios de alta calidad, evitando alterar el equilibrio del medio ambiente, utilizando adecuadamente los recursos naturales y manteniendo su integridad para generaciones futuras.

Los beneficios principales del programa incluyen: la reducción de costos para el proveedor, la reducción del impacto ambiental y la generación de materias primas agrícolas de mayor calidad.

Los productores son auditados bajo los lineamientos del Manual de Buenas Practicas Sanitarias para Productos Agrícolas con dos principales criterios: Manual de Buenas Prácticas Agrícolas y Programa de Sustentabilidad Agrícola.

Los logros durante el primer año de operación fueron:

  • Evaluamos a 38 proveedores con los criterios de Buenas Prácticas Agrícolas y a 37 con los criterios del programa de Sustentabilidad Agrícola.
  • Redujimos en 16% el uso de agroquímicos.
  • El 90% de nuestros proveedores agrícolas cumple con el Programa de Buen Uso y Manejo de Agroquímico
