Honoring the farmers who make orange juice possible

Posted on by CitroSuco

Farming is a legacy built on care, knowledge, and resilience.

Around the world, small and mid-sized producers are at the heart of orange juice production, nurturing the land and ensuring a steady supply of fruit that fuels both local livelihoods and global markets.

This message is a celebration of those who make this industry possible.

A global date to recognize local impact

We recognize the vital role of growers who, day after day, sustain one of the most consumed beverages worldwide. Their efforts sustain the juice supply chain while strengthening local communities and preserving surrounding ecosystems.

With access to training, sustainable practices and local development programs, these farmers are shaping a future where agriculture is productive, inclusive and environmentally responsible.

On the International Day of Family Farming, we highlight their essential contribution to building a more resilient and sustainable food system.

Commitment in action: Programa Trilhar

In Brazil, initiatives like Programa Trilhar reflect this ongoing commitment. The program supports growers on their path toward certification, technical development and long-term sustainability.

While locally implemented, its mission is global: empower farmers with the knowledge and tools to grow responsibly and thrive in a changing world.

We thank the growers who make a difference every day.

The global standards defining a modern juice supply chain

Posted on by CitroSuco

Certifications are essential to ensure transparency and sustainability across the juice supply chain. Standards like FSSC 22000, ISO 9001, ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 add credibility and help open doors to international markets.

These certifications reflect a structured commitment to excellence, from operational efficiency to environmental responsibility.

Food safety at the core

FSSC 22000 is a globally recognized food safety certification. Built on ISO standards and approved by the GFSI, it guarantees that our juice is produced under strict risk management systems, from raw material to final packaging. This protects consumers and reinforces trust in our practices.

Certified quality and traceability

ISO 9001 certification guarantees that every step of the production process follows rigorous quality management standards. This ensures a safe, high-quality product and strengthens traceability, a growing requirement among global partners and customers.

Workplace safety as a priority

ISO 45001 certification highlights Citrosuco’s dedication to occupational health and safety. By proactively managing risks and promoting a safe working environment, we protect our employees and ensure continuity in our operations.

Environmental practices that go beyond the grove

With ISO 14001, it is possible to affirm a commitment to environmental management. From waste control to resource efficiency and emissions monitoring, sustainable practices are embedded in Citrosuco’s production chain and audited regularly.

Certifications like FSSC 22000, ISO 9001, ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 are pillars of responsible, global-ready production. At Citrosuco, they support our mission to deliver juice that meets the highest standards of quality and sustainability.

What’s your food chain really made of?

Posted on by CitroSuco

Decarbonization and traceability are improving the food supply chain. In a context of growing demand for transparency and climate responsibility, initiatives like carbon footprint tracking and credit generation are becoming key market differentiators.

Commitment to low-carbon production is a key factor in responsible sourcing and long-term competitiveness across the food industry.

Tracking impact, building trust

Initiatives such as emissions mapping and reduction programs help monitor carbon footprints throughout the production chain from field to port. By quantifying and certifying carbon reductions, these programs contribute to global climate goals and generate value through carbon credits.

This transparency offers customers and consumers clearer insight into the environmental impact of each product.

Decarbonization as a strategic advantage

The food and beverage sector faces growing demands for climate responsibility, and low-carbon practices are critical for competitiveness.

Citrosuco’s PSA Carbon Agro program embodies our strategic commitment to sustainable development. Through this initiative, we optimize agricultural practices to reduce emissions and generate certified carbon credits, creating both environmental and economic value.
