Harvest & arrival

Arrival within six months of harvest depends on the spice’s harvest season and lot availability. The quotation confirms the harvest period and planned arrival window for your destination.

Size distribution

State the sieve range and permitted undersize percentage. Avoid treating an average pod size as a minimum size.

Colour & condition

Assess natural green colour, fading, split pods, damaged pods and extraneous matter; quantify tolerances in the offer.

Seed fill & aroma

Open representative pods to inspect seed fill and maturity. Evaluate aroma; agree volatile-oil analysis if required.

Moisture & storage

Record lot moisture and packing condition. Moisture protection and avoiding heat and light help preserve the pods during storage.

Food safety

Match residue and microbiological checks to the destination market. Required analyses and documents belong to the proposed lot.

Packing & shipment

Protect the quality.
Define the consignment.

Discuss 5 kg or 10 kg inner packs within export cartons, or bulk packing matched to the order. Moisture protection, seal integrity and the agreed net weight are part of the packing specification.

The lot offer should show the size selection, colour and defect tolerances, measured moisture, packing format and quantity reserved against the quotation.
