Quality and Process
Quality and process
Ten steps between the farm and the ship. We show you the process instead of describing it with big words. You can judge a supplier by whether the steps make sense.
-
Sourcing
We choose farms and partners in Solapur, Maharashtra to match the specification agreed for your order.
-
Harvesting
Fruit is cut at the maturity your shipment needs, not on a fixed date.
-
Sorting
We remove unsuitable fruit before it reaches the packing line.
-
Grading
We separate fruit by hand count and grade as agreed. That means 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or cluster.
-
Packing
We pack into ventilated export cartons with a poly liner and an ethylene absorber. 13.5 kg is standard, or we use the weight you ask for.
-
Pre-cooling
We pre-cool at an APEDA approved facility to bring the pulp temperature down before loading.
-
Quality check
We inspect the full consignment before the container is sealed.
-
Container loading
We load a 40 ft reefer with 1,540 cartons, set to 13 degrees Celsius with ventilation 30.
-
Documents
We prepare the invoice, packing list, phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin and bill of lading.
