Transparency has recently been a much talked about topic. Being certificated according to the MPS standards is not only supporting transparency, but it is also very helpful to radiate a positive perceived image. This management system furthermore helps to better evaluate the company’s processes. Many decisions in the company can be based on better data.
Our production site Wagagai in Uganda has been MPS certified for many years. The standards MPS-GAP (Good Agricultural Practice) and MPS- SQ (Social Qualified) guarantee, that all cuttings and young plants from Wagagai are meeting the highest requirements of the industry. We are extremely proud to be the first young plant company with production in Africa to receive this high standard. This is a perfect starting point – also for our customers when selling the finished product to the market. Especially the Poinsettia is often drawing criticism of several organisations and the media – often even below the belt. As a result growers and breeders are frequently confronted with sustainability questions. We accept the challenge and are able to openly say: Selecta produces and delivers socially responsible and resource conservative Poinsettia young plants.
