Fruit Export Process
From Anatolia’s orchards to your global markets, we make fresh fruit export a transparent, compliant, and reliable journey. As a leading Turkish fruit supplier specializing in citrus, pomegranates, and premium fresh produce, Anatolia Fruit manages every stage of the export process to ensure quality control in agriculture, cold chain logistics, and global produce supply chain standards.
Step-by-Step Export Process
- Inquiry & Quote – You submit a product inquiry (type, volume, destination), and we provide a detailed quote with seasonal availability, pricing, MOQ, and INCOTERMS options.
- Order Confirmation & Payment – Once terms are agreed, we issue a proforma invoice; payment terms are confirmed and the order is scheduled into the harvest plan.
- Harvesting & Quality Control – Our teams in Mersin, Adana, and surrounding regions hand‑select premium produce and conduct on‑site quality checks for size, Brix, color, and defects.
- Packaging & Pre‑cooling – Fruits are packed in export‑ready cartons, mesh bags, or crates, then pre‑cooled in cold rooms to maintain the cold chain before loading into 40’ reefer containers.
- Documentation & Customs Clearance – We prepare all export documentation, including phytosanitary certificates, and coordinate with customs and logistics partners for smooth clearance.
- Logistics & Shipment – Sea freight or combined land‑sea transport is arranged, with 40’ HC reefer containers continuously monitored for temperature and humidity.
- Final Delivery & Feedback – Upon arrival at the destination port or warehouse, we receive feedback on quality and logistics performance to improve our fresh fruit export process.
