Quality Management Systems (QMS) are increasingly the method of agribusiness addressing consumer demand for quality and transparency. These systems also play a crucial role in ensuring sustainable production, particularly in the face of climate change and regulatory pressures. The need to improve efficiencies in controlling production is becoming increasingly important. The aim is to highlight the benefits of QMS implementation within agribusiness, particularly in enhancing operational and sustainable efficiency. The application and concept of QMS will be explained, along with the potential benefits related to its adoption. The challenges of QMS execution will be analyzed, and the potential impact of QMS on product quality and environmental sustainability will be assessed. The study's report points to significant gains for the adoption of ISO standards after 2018: quality management, ISO 9001:2015 (1,265,216 certificates at 1,666,172 sites); environmental management, ISO 14001:2015 (529,853 certifications at 744,428 sites); and occupational health and safety, SO 45001:2018 (45,459 certifications at 51,535 sites). The article demonstrates that the adoption of QMS in agribusiness improves product quality and helps conserve natural resources. It also mirrors a favourable tendency in unifying quality management with sustainable operations. Consequently, the results of the research substantiated the practitioner’s claims on the capacity of QMS to guide agribusiness towards a more sustainable future. A culture of ‘quality’ and ‘continuous improvement’ becomes a powerful factor in arming companies to cope with the vagaries of modern-day production.
