How does Agro Plus handle third-party quality inspections at the point of origin?
We fully support and facilitate third-party inspections. We work closely with reputable agencies like SGS or Bureau Veritas to conduct pre-shipment inspections at our facilities to ensure quality, quantity, and packaging compliance before containers are sealed.

Lead times depend on the specific commodity and seasonal harvest cycles. Generally, once the contract is signed and financial instruments are confirmed, shipment readiness typically ranges from 14 to 28 days, subject to final logistical scheduling.
