Questions about tomato.
Which markets suit fresh tomatoes?
Short sea routes and air freight work best, for example to the Gulf, Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia. We advise on the best mode for your port.
How do you choose the colour stage?
We pick tomatoes less ripe for longer journeys so they reach your market at the right colour. Tell us the transit time and your preferred ripeness on arrival.
