How we quote

A firm price needs a closed specification: size, pack, volume and shipment window. Quoting per enquiry lets us assign the right growing unit and give you its own certificates. Prices carry a stated validity, because the value of fresh produce follows the harvest cycle and international demand. The EU–Mercosur interim trade agreement has applied provisionally since 1 May 2026.
