agree Charlie Bavington : since they are a food "producer", it seeems natural to think that "amont" refers to the stage in the process that comes before the stuff reaches them, i.e farming of the fruit and veg itself.

our (agricultural) produce supplie(r)s

is what they appear to be getting at. The text you quote suggests that they will go into detail on this elsewhere in the text, and surely there you can refine what they are driving at and translate the message rather than the words.
