EFI is the most rigorous certification in the industry, addressing 300+ standards that include labor conditions, food safety, and pest management at all levels of the farming operation.

EFI’s certification program was created with the goal of reducing the audit burden for growers. Our approach builds a framework and an internal culture of continuous improvement that helps growers respond to evolving retail requirements. Plus, a single audit satisfies multiple retail requirements. 

EFI certification brings increased assurance to retailers and consumers about how the fresh fruits and vegetables they purchase are grown. As a grower, it brings you assurance as well; knowing that your workforce is armed with the skills and support it needs to help you excel in a global marketplace.

Much more than a certification, EFI is a workforce development resource that commits your organization to continuous improvement and helps drive business performance via a multi-stakeholder approach that brings value to everyone in the supply chain.
