From enquiry to delivery

How a buyer enquiry is handled

Seven stages, in the order they happen. Nothing here is a promise about speed — the shipment window depends on the commodity, the crop position and the volume, and is agreed in writing before a contract.

  1. Tell us what you need

    Send the commodity, the written specification, the quantity and the destination. A specification is what separates a quotation from a guess, so the more precise it is, the closer the first price is to the final one.

    You provide: Product, specification or grade, quantity, packaging, destination port or airport

  2. We confirm supply

    We check the crop position, what our sourcing network can aggregate within your window, and whether the specification can be met consistently for the full volume — not only for a first consignment. If it cannot, we say so at this stage rather than after a contract.

  3. Receive your quotation

    A written quotation covering price, packaging, the Incoterm, lead time and payment terms, against the specification you sent. Prices move with the crop, so each quotation carries its own validity period.

  4. Samples and inspection

    Where the commodity and the contract warrant it, samples are sent for approval and a third-party inspection is arranged at loading. Both are agreed before shipment and the cost is settled in the contract.

  5. Contract and payment

    A sales contract sets out the specification, quantity, price, Incoterm, shipment window, documentation and payment instrument. Nothing is aggregated against your order until the contract and its payment terms are settled.

  6. Aggregation and preparation

    The lot is collected from farmers, cooperatives and approved suppliers, then cleaned, graded, packed and marked to the contract. This is the stage the shipment window is mostly spent in.

  7. Export and delivery

    The consignment is loaded and the export file is prepared for it — the documents your bank and your customs authority need, listed per shipment, not assumed. Delivery then follows the agreed Incoterm.

What speeds up your quotation

A quotation is only as precise as the requirement behind it. Six details turn an estimate into a firm price.

  • The commodity, and the grade or written specification
  • The quantity, and whether it repeats
  • The packaging — retail pack, woven bag, jumbo bag or bulk
  • The destination country and the discharge port or airport
  • The Incoterm you work on, or a note that you would like advice
  • The date the goods are required

International buyer desk

For bulk and container enquiries, message our export team on WhatsApp. Send the product, quantity and destination in your first message and we can check the crop position before replying.

Availability is confirmed, never assumed

A commodity appearing in our catalogue means we source it, not that a given volume is available today. Every enquiry is checked against the current crop position before a price is given.
