What buyers can hold us to

Trading commodities out of Ecuador is not complicated, but it is easy to do badly. These are the points our buyers judge us on.

  • We inspect before we pay

    Someone from our side sees the goods in the plantation, at the farm or on the quay before money moves.

  • Documents match the container

    Tally sheets, quality certificates and phytosanitary, health or catch certificates are issued for what is actually loaded.

  • We are there at loading

    We supervise stuffing at Guayaquil, Posorja or Manta and send photographs before the vessel leaves.

  • Offers in writing

    Every enquiry is answered with a written offer that states specification, packing, lead time and payment terms.

From enquiry to loading

The same five steps for teak, cacao and seafood. The specifications differ by product; the sequence does not.

  1. Send your requirements

    Product, quality, quantity and destination port. The form below turns them into an email.

  2. Receive a written offer

    Specification, packing, lead time, Incoterm and payment terms. For teak and cacao normally within two working days.

  3. Agree the contract

    Specification, packing and documents are fixed in the contract. Payment by L/C at sight or T/T.

  4. Inspection and preparation

    The goods are inspected before we pay the producer, then graded, packed or frozen to the agreed specification.

  5. Loading and documents

    We supervise the stuffing, send photographs before departure and issue the export documents for your market.

Tell us what you need.

Name the product, the quantity and the destination port. We answer with a written offer.

For example 2 × 40′ containers or 50 t.

Specification, grade or size, packing and timing.
