PreviousIso 9001 e Fssc22000
NextISO 9001 is one of the norms of the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) system, an organization recognized worldwide and which today is used as a reference in management systems, related to Quality management. Its implementation can be carried out in companies of any nature, therefore, it is not specific to industries or to the food segment, as is the case of 22000, which can only be implemented by companies that are part of the food chain.
This standard focuses on customer satisfaction and continuous improvement, which allows organizations with its implementation, a higher level of competition in the market in which it operates, improvement in business management to meet customer needs, optimization and performance improvement processes with consequent savings, greater involvement and commitment of employees and improvement in the way of demonstrating their controls and compliance with legal, regulatory and customer requirements. Its establishment can be done alone or in conjunction with other ISO standards, according to the type of company, something that is facilitated by the fact that the standards present requirements common to all of them.
FSSC 22000 is a globally recognized certification scheme for food manufacturers that includes the food safety management system in accordance with ISO 22000, prerequisite programs based on ISO 22002, and additional requirements specific to this standard. Its acronym means Food Safety System Certification , which in Portuguese means “Certification in the Food Safety System”. Its implementation today is considered of extreme importance in industries of the sector due to the greater worldwide recognition (GFSI), greater guarantee of product safety, market pressure, standardization of processes and greater retention of information and established controls.

PreviousDialogue between the parties
We look for suitable spaces to negotiate and build commercial relationships, always based on respect between the parties. OCRA visits its suppliers every year, understanding that in the field or at the headquarters of the cooperatives it is the most appropriate environment and where farmers feel more comfortable talking.
We work to establish a good process for those who sell and those who buy. Building a relationship in the cocoa production chain where all parties win is fundamental.
Clear rules for both parties. We build agreements with cooperatives and producers through crop or contract planning, exhaustively debating deadlines, production goals, payment method, always taking into account the peculiarities of each group, family farmer or rural producer.
Always provide the necessary information to help in negotiations, in a clear and organized way.
Understanding the peculiarities of each region to make the operations viable is essential for the partnership. Cooperatives have different methods of social and productive organization than other suppliers, influenced by the environment they live in and the local ways of life and culture.
We discuss potential actions with the cooperatives to facilitate the environmental management of family production units, and through a system of periodic field checks to ensure that our suppliers respect and work for the conservation of natural resources.
When cooperatives find it difficult to solve problems in the field, when planting crops, harvesting and post-harvesting, we try to help in the search for joint solutions, transferring technologies when it is within our reach, or promoting links that can solve the mapped obstacles.
SAFTA – Tomé-Açu Agroforestry System. Such a system is not aimed at chemical or pesticide sources. It is based on the consortium of several Amazonian fruit plants with forest recovery within the concept of agroforestry polyculture for recovery and sustainability. The main crops are: cocoa, cupuaçu, açaí, passion fruit, Brazilian nuts, bacurí and uxí.
Wild cocoa and native cocoa, that is, one that was not planted by anyone. It was reproduced in the forest in a natural way and not as a way of culture. People from the riverside and from the islands, most of them thriving in a natural way without human management, only with collections. There are thousands of square kilometers of islands in the state of Pará just outside Belém, placing the greatest emphasis on Marajó Island – the largest river island in the world. This cocoa has a unique and special flavor since it is natural, healthy and without pesticides. In addition to being part of the local diet that is based on fishing, cassava, vegetables, nuts and other forest collections, in addition to tourism.
