Catalogue · Programme starter kits
Starter kits: one request for a whole fruit, seafood or egg programme
A starter kit puts the products buyers usually source together on one request list — for example cherries, blueberries and table grapes for a counter-season fruit programme. You then set type, grade, size, quantity and packing per line and send one RFQ for our team to review.
Kits are not stock or offers. The dependency notes are our general buyer guidance; each handling line is quoted from the sourced buyer profile it links to. Buyers pay nothing; assisted sourcing covers programmes of USD 250,000 or more per year or season.

How the lines depend on each other
- State the ripeness stage you need on arrival — for example firm for your own ripening, or pre-conditioned — because it changes how the fruit is packed and shipped.
- Give the count or size per carton and the dry-matter or maturity test you use for acceptance.
- If you need ripening-room or cold-room capacity at destination, mention it: cold-storage projects are handled by our specialist platform ColdMatch, not inside the produce request.

How the lines depend on each other

- List any religious slaughter, welfare or production-method requirement as a requirement to be evidenced per offer.

How the lines depend on each other
- Name the destination market and the organic label you will use on every line — the certification route and shipment documents depend on it.
- Each line is quoted only with a current certificate whose scope covers that product and its packing site; ask for it per offer.
- Keep sustainability, agroecological or pesticide-free claims separate: they are not organic certification and need their own evidence.
- Quality class, size and cold chain are stated exactly as for conventional fruit; organic status does not replace them.

Questions about starter kits
- What is a starter kit?
- A starter kit is a ready-made group of catalogue products that buyers often source in one programme, such as counter-season cherries, blueberries and grapes. Adding a kit puts its core products on your request list, where you set each line's specification.
- Does a kit mean the products are in stock?
- No. Kits list products you can request, not stock or offers. Our team approaches suitable suppliers after reviewing your request, and availability, origin, certificates and prices are confirmed only after verification.
- Can I mix a kit with other products?
- Yes. A request list can hold up to 20 lines from any kit or product. The request form then carries every line, so the team reviews one combined programme.
- Who is responsible for import requirements?
- The producer or exporter is responsible for product and shipment requirements; the buyer or importer for import permissions, local rules and due diligence. Requirements vary by product and country.
