Operations

From farm gate to your port, orchestrated.

Eight tightly-choreographed stages stand between an Indian farm and your discharge berth. Each one is documented, sign-off-gated and logged \u2014 so what arrives is exactly what was ordered.

The journey

Eight stages, one continuous paper trail.

From the moment produce leaves the farm to the moment your gate-pass clears \u2014 every stage is logged, witnessed and signed.

01

Packhouse intake

Produce arrives from partner farms inside hours of harvest. Crates are graded, weighed and assigned a batch ID that follows them all the way to the buyer’s warehouse — with full traceability back to the field.

  • Field-fresh: 6–18 hr farm-to-packhouse
  • Crate-level batch identifiers
  • Reject-grade sorted out at intake
02

Pre-cooling

Heat is the enemy of shelf life. Within 30 minutes of intake, produce moves to room-temperature, then forced-air or hydro pre-cool tunnels — down to 4–10°C depending on the crop. Field heat is removed before packaging.

  • Forced-air, hydro & room cooling
  • Pulp temperature logged at every stage
  • Crop-specific target temperatures
03

Quality control

Every batch is sampled for size grade, moisture, pesticide residue, brix (where applicable) and shelf-life trial. Lab results are sealed into the batch dossier before any container is allocated.

  • Pesticide residue (MRL) testing
  • Size, brix & moisture grading
  • Shelf-life trials per shipment
04

Packaging & private labels

Cartons, mesh bags, jute, modified-atmosphere film — spec'd to your destination market. Private-label artwork, multi-language compliance copy and lot codes are printed in-house, then double-checked against your purchase order.

  • Cartons, jute, mesh, MAP film
  • Private label & multi-language copy
  • Lot codes printed in-house
05

Palletisation

ISPM-15 heat-treated pallets, stacked to standard EUR or US dimensions. Strap, stretch wrap and corner protectors are applied to keep stacks plumb across long ocean transits. Each pallet carries a slip with batch IDs.

  • ISPM-15 treated pallets
  • EUR / US footprint, slip-sheet on request
  • Pallet manifest matches container manifest
06

Pre-shipment inspection

Final visual inspection at stuffing point. Buyer or third-party agency (SGS, Bureau Veritas, Cotecna) is welcomed on-site. Photos and a sign-off sheet are filed against the batch before container doors close.

  • Buyer / 3rd-party witness welcome
  • SGS, BV, Cotecna inspection-ready
  • Photo & sign-off filed per shipment
07

Reefer & container loading

Pre-trip inspected reefers, set to crop-specific temperature with controlled atmosphere where required. Stuffed under shade or in a cold-loading bay. Temperature recorders are placed front, middle and rear of the container.

  • PTI-checked reefers, set-point logged
  • Three-point temp recorders per container
  • 20’/40’ reefer or 40’ HC dry as needed
08

Documentation & dispatch

Bill of lading, phytosanitary, certificate of origin, fumigation, COA, packing list — all couriered ahead of vessel sailing. A shipment dossier with reefer trace and inspection photos lands in your inbox before discharge.

  • BL, phyto, CoO, fumigation, COA, packing list
  • Couriered ahead of vessel sailing
  • Digital dossier with reefer trace
