Packing & loading

How a lot is dressed for the voyage.

Packing is quoted with the price because it changes the price. Tell us the discharge port and the receiving plant, and we will recommend the bagging that survives the journey rather than the one that is cheapest to buy.

Bagging

New PP woven bags, food-grade jute, or double-lined cartons depending on the commodity and the market.

Liners

Kraft or polythene container liners on request for hygroscopic lines such as sesame and soybean.

Fumigation

Carried out before stuffing, with the certificate issued against the container and seal number.

Marking

Bags stencilled with lot number, net weight, crop year and destination as agreed in the contract.

Stuffing

Supervised loading, tally sheet signed on site, photographs of the sealed door sent the same day.

Palletised export bags stacked in a commodity warehouse TALLY  Signed at the door

Contract parameters

What we can tighten, and what we cannot.

A specification is a commercial decision as much as a technical one. Every parameter you tighten removes tonnage from the available pool and moves the price. We would rather show you that trade-off than quietly miss it.

Moisture

Achievable below our published ceilings on most lines, at a yield cost. Harmattan lots dry down more easily than early-season crop.

Purity & admixture

Sortex passes can be repeated to reach 99.9% on sesame. Each pass costs throughput, and we will quote it separately.

Aflatoxin

Managed at source through drying discipline, then verified by test. We will not accept a limit we cannot evidence on the day of loading.

Quotations

Send the spec sheet. We’ll price against it line by line.

Commodity, quality parameters, quantity, packing, Incoterm and discharge port — that is everything we need to come back with a firm offer.
