relationships with major European retail chains and Middle Eastern
importers from Year 3, gradually reducing dependency on intermediary

The brand proposition centres on three attributes: exceptional quality (consistent sizing, high juice content, extended shelf life); verified sustainability credentials (GlobalG.A.P., organic certification, carbon-neutral pathway); and full traceability from orchard to retail shelf via QR-coded packaging.
