Common Sourcing Questions
What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?
Our typical MOQ for sea transport is 1x20ft or 40ft refrigerated High-Cube reefer container (approx 12 to 28 Metric Tons depending on crop weight density). For tender air cargo items like green chillies or tender okra, smaller tender volumes starting at 3 Metric Tons are accepted.
How do you guarantee crop quality during transit?
We maintain strict pre-cooling operations within minutes of sorting to drop crop temperatures to their required hibernation state. Every shipment is loaded in customized double-wall corrugated carton grids or strong mesh sacks with active mechanical data-loggers monitoring real-time temperature fluctuations.
What payment methods do you support?
Wadi Aldeqa accepts standard trade finance payment models including Irrevocable Letters of Credit (L/C at Sight) from top tier banks, or secure telegraphic transfer deposits (T/T). Detailed custom terms can be adjusted based on broker verification.
