Contract Supply
Buyers who need the same commodity every month should not have to renegotiate it every month. Contract supply fixes specification, volume and schedule for the term.
Overview
Repeat requirements are better served by a contract than by a series of spot purchases. A contract lets the company plan its buying against known demand, and lets the buyer plan operations against known supply.
A supply agreement fixes the commodity, grade and specification, the total volume and the delivery schedule, the packaging and delivery terms, and the basis on which price is set — whether fixed for the term, fixed per call-off, or referenced to an agreed market basis.
Because the company sources at origin, contracted volume can be secured during the harvest window and held in store for release against the schedule, which is generally the most reliable way to cover a requirement running across a season.

Who this service is for
How it works
The sequence below is followed on every consignment, and each step is recorded so the consignment can be reconstructed afterwards.
Define the requirement
Commodity, grade, annual or seasonal volume, packaging, delivery points and the required schedule are established.
Agree the terms
Specification, volume, schedule, pricing basis, payment terms and remedies are settled and recorded in a written agreement.
Secure the volume
Buying at origin is planned against the contract, and stock is prepared, graded and reserved to it.
Deliver to schedule
Consignments are released against call-offs, prepared to the same specification and packaging each time.
Review
Performance against volume, quality and schedule is reviewed with the buyer, and the plan for the remaining term is adjusted.
