Brief first. Grow second.

Email us or complete the wholesale enquiry form with your requirements: bulb size range (mm), colour grade preference, pack format (25kg bags, 10kg bags, custom), approximate volume, and your required UK or Gulf delivery date.

We confirm that your specification is achievable for the season, send indicative FOB Dar es Salaam pricing per MT, and agree quality tolerances (default: max 5% defect rate, min 95% size conformity). No obligation at this stage.

40% deposit received by EACG UK Ltd (GBP via Wise Business, or USD). This activates farmer contracting. Your deposit funds your specific crop — we do not pool orders. Your 60% balance is invoiced on confirmed vessel booking.

EACG Tanzania Ltd contracts GPS-registered Mang'ola farmers in Karatu District to grow to your size and colour specification. Contracts are bilingual (English/Swahili), first-right-of-refusal basis, with market-price formula and quality rejection clause.

EACG field coordinators visit each contracted farm at planting. Variety confirmation, planting density, and irrigation method are logged digitally on the Alisi.trade platform. Any issues flagged to you immediately.

A second field visit at mid-season confirms the crop is tracking to spec. At harvest, the field coordinator signs off quality before collection begins. All records — visit date, observations, quality assessment — logged on Alisi.trade and available to you on request.

Harvested produce is sorted and graded at the collection point in Karatu District against your agreed specification: bulb diameter, skin firmness, colour uniformity, and defect rate. Produce outside agreed tolerances is rejected and not shipped. Grading data is documented and shared.

Graded produce is packed to your format — 25kg mesh bags, 10kg retail bags, or custom. Every bag receives a physical EACG Batch ID tag pre-printed with: Batch ID (TZ-ON-F047-20250610-01), farm reference, collection date, pack weight, and EACG contact. Only the bag counter is filled at pack.

Full document pack prepared by EACG Tanzania Ltd: DCTS Certificate of Origin (TRA-issued, zero UK import duty), phytosanitary certificate (TPRI/TPHPA), fumigation certificate, commercial invoice, packing list, and batch traceability summary. All documents digitally shared on bill of lading issuance.

Vessel booked FOB Dar es Salaam. EACG UK Ltd files IPAFFS pre-notification with UK APHA before vessel arrival. Milestone updates sent at every stage: vessel booked → bill of lading issued → vessel departed → ETA → arrived. Transit time to Felixstowe: approximately 25–28 days.
