What is a CAV and how do I get one?
A CAV is a Compliance Assessment Verification. It is issued once you successfully complete all of the requirements to become GAP compliant.
To get a CAV you must be inspected by a Zespri approved inspector and hold a valid CAV if working on any orchards that supply kiwifruit to Zespri.
If you are a new contractor you need to successfully complete three inspections, thereafter to maintain compliance you will need to renew your CAV annually.
1. Set Up a Registered Company
The first step in the process is to register a company.
3. Approval Process
Zespri will engage a third party to explore your company and its intentions.
5. Book an Inspection
