Sourcing FAQ

Frequently Asked Sourcing Questions

Highly technical B2B answers regarding organic certifications, pesticide limits, and logistics protocols.

Q1: How does AGROX guarantee microbiological purity in bulk spice shipments?

All of our spice ingredients are processed in ISO 22000/HACCP certified facilities. For sensitive microbial specifications, we offer steam sterilization (heat treatment) which significantly reduces yeast, mold, and total plate count (TPC) without affecting the volatile oil content or organic status.

Q2: What sterilization methods are available for European and US food manufacturing shipments?

We provide validated saturated steam sterilization. Ethylene Oxide (EtO) is strictly banned in the EU and is not used on our organic products. Steam treatment acts as a clean, chemical-free sterilization technique that maintains compliance with EU Organic and USDA NOP regulations.

Q3: Do you provide composite samples for manufacturer QA lab pre-approval?

Yes. We regularly supply 200g–500g composite cargo samples along with their respective Certificate of Analysis (CoA) from accredited laboratories (SGS or Eurofins) to facilitate the buyer's internal QA laboratory vetting process before shipping contract execution.

Q4: Can you customize mesh sizes for ground spice powders?

Yes. Our milling facilities in India can grind spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, and ginger to custom particle sizes ranging from 30 mesh to 80 mesh, depending on the manufacturer's specific culinary or processing requirements.

Q5: How do you manage aflatoxin and pesticide residue tolerances for EU markets?

We run strict pre-shipment laboratory analysis (via GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS) on every single batch through Eurofins or SGS. Cargo is only loaded if the analysis confirms pesticide residues are below the European Commission's Maximum Residue Limits (MRL) database levels.

Q6: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom B2B ingredient specifications?

Our standard MOQ for custom milled or customized agricultural specifications is 1 Full Container Load (FCL), which represents approximately 13 to 15 Metric Tons for whole spices, or 20 Metric Tons for grains and pulses.

Q7: Are your agricultural processing facilities GFSI certified?

Our processing partner facilities hold recognized GFSI-level certifications, including FSSC 22000 and BRCGS Food Safety audits, ensuring standard compliance with international food manufacturing safety programs.

Q8: Do you provide traceability documentation back to farm clusters?

Yes. With our organic shipment packages, we provide farm cluster trace documents indicating the registered farm coordinates, farmer group details, harvesting timelines, and NPOP/USDA NOP transaction certificate references.

Q9: How does AGROX handle container stuffing and moisture control for long sea transits?

Containers are swept, inspected, and lined with kraft paper. We secure cargo with heavy-duty silica gel moisture absorber bags (desiccants) hanging on container walls to prevent condensation during the temperature variations of ocean shipping.

Q10: What trade financing and payment terms do you support for food manufacturers?

We work primarily with Confirmed, Irrevocable Letters of Credit (L/C) payable at sight, or Document Against Payment (D/P) terms. For established corporate partners with high transaction histories, we also evaluate custom credit structures.
