Fresh fruit and vegetables
Onions, potatoes, garlic, citrus and seasonal fruit and vegetables; in reefer containers.
With fresh fruit and vegetables, time directly determines quality. The time between harvest and arrival is the single most important factor in shelf life and in the buyer's margin.
We plan around the harvest calendar and ship in reefer containers with the right temperature and ventilation settings. Calibre, colour and packaging are chosen to suit the buyer's market.
