Origin Dispatch · Field Report
From a 40-hectare block outside Piura, to a reefer on the Pan-American.
Our mango supply is anchored by 11 named grower partnerships in northern Peru — small and mid-sized farms we have walked, audited, and re-contracted every season since 2014. Each block runs a documented harvest schedule, a single pack-house QC line, and a sealed-container handoff we can trace back to the picker.
This is what the “2,300 growers” number actually looks like in the field — not a spreadsheet, but a phone call we can place before the container rolls. That's the difference between a broker and a sourcing partner.

Harvest Calendar · Indicative Windows
Plan your annual supply against these windows.
Multi-origin sourcing closes most counter-seasonal gaps. Windows below reflect primary harvest at named grower blocks; secondary origins extend coverage by 4–8 weeks at either shoulder.
| Program | Origin | Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec |

| Kent Mango | Piura, Peru | ||||||||||||
| Persian Lime | Veracruz, MX | ||||||||||||

Bar width indicates relative weekly volume, not absolute tonnage. Windows are indicative of contracted primary blocks; secondary origin coverage (e.g. Jalisco avocado, Ecuadorian mango) is available on request.
Quality & Compliance · Buyer's Brief
Every lot is tested before the container seal. Every shipment arrives with cold-treatment paper that passes on the first review.
01
On-site QC at origin
Nine of our owned packing facilities run a GoSh-employed QC inspector who inspects every incoming lot before it reaches the line. Outgoing containers are graded, photographed, and tied to a grower block ID before seal. Specifications — Brix, pressure, defect tolerance — are written into the supply contract, not negotiated per shipment.
- Firmness & Brix tested at receiving
- Lot photograph retained for 18 months
- Cold-chain probe calibrated weekly
02
USDA APHIS cold-treatment documentation
We deliver USDA APHIS-compliant cold-treatment records with 100% of qualifying shipments — every container, every entry, since 2017. Documentation is generated at the packing house, transmitted digitally to your broker, and reconciled against the APHIS stamp at port of entry.

- GFSI-certified documentation chain
- Zero rejected entry lines in 36 months
