How to prepare a wholesale banana enquiry

Start with the destination and route-to-market, then add the information needed to match supply.

  • Destination country and city
  • Buyer type and sales channel
  • Expected order or monthly volume
  • Carton preference and target start date

What a commercial banana specification should include

A useful specification translates quality expectations into points both sides can review.

  • Variety, grade and calibration
  • Net weight and carton format
  • Hands or cluster configuration
  • Packing, marking and acceptance scope

What to confirm in a multi-origin programme

Origin choice should follow availability, destination requirements and the commercial plan—not a country name alone.

  • Confirmed availability for the period
  • Proposed route and timing
  • Required documents or inspection
  • Arrival feedback and repeat-order planning
