Produce and seafood sourcing for importers in 15 markets: one confidential request, several screened suppliers

What changes when our team runs the supplier search for you. This describes the service, not an outcome: prices, volumes and admission depend on each supplier and consignment.

The top three recorded 2024 flows into each market in the product lanes of our origin registers (UN Comtrade, reported by the exporting country, US$ million). A recorded flow is past trade — not a forecast, a supplier list or confirmation that your consignment will be admitted.

Hypothesis, labelled as such: goods declared in the Netherlands and Belgium can be redistributed elsewhere in the EU; this table does not measure that onward flow.

Copy these fields into your request and leave a field open rather than guess. Our team turns them into one specification that every supplier quotes against.

Document categories only: the exact set depends on product, origin and destination and must be confirmed with the authority or your customs broker.

• Phytosanitary certificate from the exporting country's plant protection organisation, where the importing country requires one for fresh plant products (IPPC standards, ISPM 12).
• EU: a CHED pre-notified in TRACES for consignments subject to border controls, and a catch certificate for wild-caught fishery products under the EU rules against illegal fishing (European Commission).
• EU: one-step-back, one-step-forward traceability records under Article 18 of the General Food Law (European Commission guidance).
• United States: FDA Prior Notice before arrival and the importer's Foreign Supplier Verification Program; NOAA's Seafood Import Monitoring Program for listed species.
• Great Britain: pre-notification in IPAFFS for regulated plants, plant products and food (GOV.UK).
• China: the overseas manufacturer, processor or storage facility registered with GACC under Decree 280, in force since 1 June 2026, which repealed Decree 248.
• UAE and Saudi Arabia: MOCCAE release of agricultural consignments; SFDA conditions and requirements for food clearance.
• Every supplier: certificate numbers, scope and expiry for each scheme claimed, checked in the scheme's own public database (for example GLOBALG.A.P. and BRCGS).

This page gives no temperatures, transit times or freight rates: they depend on product, variety, route and carrier. We ask each supplier to state them in its offer.

• The Incoterms® rule and named place in every offer, so costs and transfer of risk compare on one basis (ICC).
• Pre-cooling, temperature and atmosphere settings and the monitoring record the supplier proposes for the product — stated by the supplier, not by us.
• Port of loading, sea or air freight, transhipment, and the destination port or airport you use.
• Who books freight and insurance under the chosen Incoterms® rule — we do not book freight.
• Inspection points at packing, loading and arrival, and what happens to a consignment that is held.

From request to comparable offers:

• You send one structured request: products, specification, origins you accept, volume, destination, arrival window and documents.
• A person on our team reviews it against the USD 250,000 annual or seasonal programme minimum and the trade evidence for each origin and product.
• Our team approaches several suitable suppliers with the same questions, without your company name or contact details.
• You receive offers on one basis, with open points such as certificates or registrations still to be confirmed.
• Your identity is shared only when you approve an introduction to a specific supplier. Buyers pay nothing.

• Destination market, port, and who clears the goods
• Products, varieties or species, grade and pack
• Origins you accept — one or several
• Volume per week or month, season total and arrival window
• Documents and certificates your market and customers require
• Incoterms® rule and named place, currency, and the declared annual or seasonal programme value

Our team turns these points into one reviewed request and approaches suitable suppliers on your behalf. Buyers pay nothing; sourcing programmes start from USD 250,000 per year or season, and every requirement is confirmed per shipment rather than assumed.
