Information for AFRISCO's clients
The Fee Structure
Fees
for inspection and certification will be paid before the annual inspection.
No fee is refundable if certification is not approved.
The
table following provides a guide to operators.
However, if a review of the initial questionnaire indicates that the
operation to be inspected is complicated or will require more than one
inspection per year, we will negotiate a rate with the operator.
The same applies to processing and input operations.
Similarly, if a full annual farm inspection is not required, it may be
possible to reduce the inspection fee in some years, but no operator should
count on this.
If any group of producers applies together for Afrisco certification, we will endeavour to offer a lower price if we can find economies of scale. Please ask for a quote.
Fees will be paid before the annual
inspection. All fees will incur
VAT.
No
fees should be paid by the operator to the inspector.
