Alphonsa Cashew Industries, a leading player in the Indian cashew industry, has set a new precedent by achieving the esteemed AEO T3, the highest tier of the Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) program. This milestone marks Alphonsa as one of the first food producers in India, and the very first in Kerala, to earn this significant accolade.
The AEO program, established by the World Customs Organization, consists of three tiers - T1, T2, and T3. Each tier represents a different level of compliance with international trade standards, with T3 being the highest and most challenging level to achieve. The certification acknowledges entities demonstrating extraordinary supply chain security and superior operational efficiency. Alphonsa Cashew Industries has now joined an exclusive group of businesses worldwide that operate with exemplary integrity in international trade.
Babu Oommen, Chairman of Alphonsa Cashew Industries, said, "Receiving the AEO T3 certification is a monumental achievement that reflects our unwavering commitment to maintaining the highest global standards of operations, security, and reliability. This accolade underlines our determination to lead the industry not just in production but also in best business practices."
Being the first company in Kerala and amongst the first few food producers in India to be granted, this status highlights Alphonsa Cashew Industries' continuous dedication to enhancing its operational standards. The AEO T3 Certification will enable Alphonsa Cashew Industries to further its reach in international markets, ensuring seamless and efficient import and export procedures, quicker customs procedures, and enhanced predictability in the movement of goods.
"We believe that the AEO T3 certification will provide us with significant operational benefits and strengthen our global competitiveness," added Ebin Babu Oommen, Director of Alphonsa Cashew Industries. "It will pave the way for a more efficient, secure, and sustainable supply chain, enhancing our potential for growth in both domestic and international markets."
Alphonsa Cashew Industries wishes to thank all of its stakeholders, including its dedicated workforce, who have played an integral role in reaching this significant milestone. The company looks forward to leveraging the opportunities that this recognition brings, as it continues to contribute to the growth of the cashew industry in India.
