Origin Footprint

Our sourcing network spans key agricultural regions optimized for premium fresh produce:

Cold Chain Management

Temperature integrity is non-negotiable for perishable exports. Our protocols ensure product quality from harvest to final delivery.

Field heat removal within 4 hours of harvest. Product-specific temperature targets: bananas 13°C, avocados 5.5°C, leafy greens 0–2°C.

Transit Monitoring

Data loggers in every container recording temperature, humidity, and door openings. Real-time alerts on deviations.

Ethylene Management

Potassium permanganate sachets for ethylene-sensitive cargo. Controlled atmosphere containers for extended transit requirements.

Packaging Optimization

Engineering-grade packaging that maximizes payload while protecting product integrity:

Carton Design

Telescopic cartons (2.5kg to 13.5kg) engineered for vertical stacking pressure in 40ft High Cube reefers.

Palletization

Configurations calculated to maximize container utilization while maintaining airflow channels for proper cooling distribution.

Packaging Optimization
