Investir e esperar
Made in Portugal são também os morangos sa Asda/Wal-Mart. São produzidos na Costa Vincentina, em São Teotónio, numa quinta da Well-Pict, empresa britânica, subsidiária da AMS Marketing, que há cinco anos é fornecedora exclusive de frutos silvestres desta cadeia, e parceira habitual da Marks & Spender e Sainsburys.

No ano passado a Well-Pict Portugal enviou para o Reino Unido 1000 toneladas de morangos, e só não atingui es estimadas 1400 toneladas “porque há 17 hectares em pousio por falta de mão-de-obra, devido à falta de articulação de recursos estrangeiros”, lamenta Sofia Rosendo, 31 anos, gerente da Well-Pict Portugal.

Fornecer cadeias de dimensão mundial não é fácil, principalmente na área alimentar. Se noutros sectores as auditorias in loco são imperativas, na alimentação tudo é analisado ao mais infirmo pormenor. Por examplo, só para estar como promotora no stand da Terraquente, no Harrods, Rosa Cunha Guimarães, lider da companhia, teve de responder a um exaustivo questionãrio sobre o seu estado de saúde e apresenter análises clínicas pessoais.

“Os requisitos para fornecer uma grande cadeia implicam planos tão detalhados quw chegam a exigir dois anos de preparação”, afirma Carol Ford, da AMS Marketing, que tem quintas desde Portugal a África do Sul. A Well-Pict tem de ser auditada pela EureGAP – Boas Prácticas Agrícolas, alem das auditorias aos armazéns, e certificações éticas e ambientais. Para estar á altura, nos últimos três anos investiu 1,5 milhões de euros em formação, aquisição de novos tractores, programas de rastreabilidade e remodelação  da área de embalamento.

Desde os primeiros contactos há que ter muita paciência, e não desistir. A primeira reunião pode ocorrer semanas, meses ou mesmo um ano após a primeira abordagem. O passo seguinte costuma ser a visita de um auditor. No caso da Ikea, por exemplo, é possível que venham dois quadros suecos, da casa-mãe. Durante dois ou três dias entrevistam os colaboradores aleatoriamente, entram no software de contabilidade analisam as transações com fornecedores e o cadastro dos recursos humanos, para precaver eventuais casos de trabalho infantil, entre outras irregularidades éticas e ambientais.

Nessa altura entregam ao candidato a lista dos laboratórios de análises com quem trabalham, para que trodos os materiais sejam estudados conforme as directrizes do mercado e da própria companhia.
