Freshness depends on coordination
Herbs continue to respire after harvest, so unnecessary delays and heat exposure can quickly affect their condition. Coordinated movement from harvest through packing and dispatch helps preserve the qualities buyers expect.
Packaging supports the product
Packaging is more than presentation. The right format protects delicate leaves and stems while supporting airflow, handling, labelling, and the buyer's preferred pack programme.
- Prompt post-harvest handling
- Protective, market-appropriate packs
- Clear coordination around collection and dispatch
Plan around the destination
Every market and customer has different requirements. Product format, shipment timing, documentation, and arrival expectations should be discussed early so the supply programme can be planned around the destination.
