Commodities

The import and export of commodities to and from India has grown considerably, from the agri-food sector to the energy sector, and flows are constantly increasing, particularly in view of global demand. Importing countries are increasingly demanding in terms of quality, and in order to control the supply chain, controls are being put in place to guarantee quality levels.

Apave, through its subsidiary Baltic, offers pre- and post-shipment inspection, verification, cargo control, supervision of loading and unloading of ships and containers, process monitoring, social audit, testing of all products, certification of organic products, etc.
