Our commitment to quality for this sensitive product includes:
Sourcing young, tender pods harvested carefully.
Rapid post-harvest handling and movement into the cold chain.
Gentle sorting and grading to minimize physical damage.
Packing in protective, well-ventilated containers (e.g., breathable liners in cartons, specialized crates) that minimize friction and allow cold air circulation.
Strict adherence to refrigerated temperatures throughout packing, storage, and transit.
Handling fresh okra requires specific care:
Packaging: Packed carefully by weight in breathable materials within sturdy cartons or crates designed to prevent crushing and allow airflow. Common weights: 4kg, 5kg, 8kg cartons/crates.
Shipment: Exported exclusively via Refrigerated Containers (Reefers) at precise, cool temperatures (typically not freezing). Air freight is a faster alternative for urgent needs, also requiring temperature control.
