Channel, pricing and retention
- Channels: direct FOB/CFR export to blenders and importers; specialist brokers to open new geographies; domestic sales for off-grade.
- Pricing: benchmarked to international FOB with certified and value-added premia; selective forward pricing to stabilise margin.
- Sales development: trade-fair presence (e.g. Anuga, Biofach), buyer farm visits, and transparent traceability as a sales asset.
- Retention: specification reliability, on-time shipment, and multi-year contracts; cross-sell from standard to value-added grades.
