Business areas
Six things we do, and the kind of partner each one is for
Each area stands on its own. Together they mean one partner can cover a requirement that would otherwise need several — with one contact, one specification and one delivery schedule.
What we do
Choose the one closest to your requirement
If your requirement sits across two of them, that is normal and it is the reason we do all six.
Cultivation
Growing done with the end specification in mind.
Cultivation and orchard management carried out with the buyer requirement decided first — because grade, size and condition are determined long before harvest.
Read more
Post-harvest handling
Condition protected between harvest and delivery.
Receiving, sorting, grading, packing and storage — the stage where the quality achieved in the field is either preserved or quietly lost.
Read more
Agricultural trading
One supplier, one agreement, across several products.
Trading of agricultural products against your specification — bringing together what you need under one commercial relationship instead of several.
Read more
Sourcing and supply cooperation
Supply planned with growers, not bought at the last minute.
Working with growing partners to plan volume and quality ahead of the season, so supply is arranged before it is urgent and both sides know where they stand.
Read more
Distribution
Product delivered in the condition it was accepted in.
Scheduled delivery and distribution of agricultural products, with the handling and documentation that decide what actually arrives at the other end.

How we work
The same process, whichever area you start in

Next step
Not sure which area fits?
Describe the requirement rather than the category. We will tell you which of these covers it — or that none of them do, which is an answer worth getting quickly.
We reply to every enquiry within one working day.
