Produce and grades

Four crops. A written standard for each.

The grade is the contract. These are the standards a buyer agrees to before the first load moves.

How a supply arrangement runs

  1. 01

    You send your requirement

    Crop, grade, volume and how often. We tell you plainly what we can commit to and what we cannot.

  2. 02

    We agree the standard

    You get the written grading standard for your crop and sign it. That document settles any argument later.

  3. 03

    A trial load

    One consignment at the agreed grade, so you can check it against the standard before committing.

  4. 04

    A standing order

    Twice weekly delivery to Kampala, or collection here. Payment within fourteen days of delivery.
