How quoting works
We do not publish prices because bulk prices for these products move with grade, crop season, quantity and destination. What we do publish is exactly how a quotation is built, so there are no surprises later.
What you send
- Products (from the catalogue, a saved list, or pasted as free text), quantities and units.
- Destination port and preferred incoterm (FOB, CIF, CFR, DDP). If unsure, say so and we quote FOB and CIF.
- Target shipment month, any specification, packing or labelling requirement, and the tests your market needs.
What the quotation includes
| Specification | Grade, moisture, purity, admixture and other parameters with tolerances and the test method. |
|---|---|
| Price basis | Per MT or per kg on the stated incoterm and port; currency USD unless agreed otherwise. |
| Packing | Bag or carton type, net weight, palletisation, container load plan (MT per 20ft/40ft). |
| Validity | A validity date is stated on every quotation (typically 7 to 14 days for spices, longer for pulses and rice). |
| Lead time | Days from proforma acceptance to container loading. |
| Documents | List of certificates and lab reports supplied, and which are included in the price. |
| Payment terms | Stated on the quotation (advance, balance against documents, or LC as agreed). |
Our standards
- Reply within one business day, Monday to Saturday, with a written quotation or the questions we need answered first.
- The quotation is the price. The proforma invoice matches the quotation line for line; changes are agreed in writing before production.
- Unavailable items are named. If something cannot be supplied as asked, the quotation says so and offers the nearest alternative or timing.
- Every enquiry has a reference (ENQ-…) you can track, with status changes emailed to you.
MOQ and samples
Typical MOQ is 500 kg per product for spices and 1 to 5 MT for pulses, rice and flours; a mixed 20ft container can carry several products. The port of loading and country of origin are stated on the quotation and shipping documents. Pre-shipment samples are available for most products; see samples.
