Why These Payment Terms?

Fresh fruits and vegetables are time-sensitive, perishable commodities shipped across international borders. Unlike manufactured goods, once our produce leaves our facility, its quality and shelf life are directly tied to the speed and certainty of the entire supply chain — including payment.

Our payment terms exist to:

  • Protect product quality — confirmed payments allow us to prioritise packing, cold chain logistics, and dispatch without delay
  • Ensure compliance — all transactions are governed by RBI/FEMA export regulations, requiring secure and traceable payment methods
  • Build mutual trust — clear terms protect both parties; buyers know exactly what to expect, and we can plan shipments with confidence
  • Reward loyalty — buyers who establish a consistent payment record with us are progressively offered more flexible arrangements

We understand that every buyer has different requirements. Our terms are designed to be fair, transparent, and scalable as our business relationship grows. We always encourage new buyers to start with a trial order — it is the fastest way to unlock better terms.
