Request a delivered price
Four things decide whether a price can be quoted at all: the variety, where it is going, roughly how much, and the week you need it on the dock. Send those and the answer comes back as a number.
What to include
Company name, and an email address or a WhatsApp number to reply to. The destination country and town, because the delivered price is mostly freight and freight is a distance. A quantity in whatever unit you actually work in, pallets or kilos or boxes; a rough figure beats a precise one invented to look serious. If the delivery week and the packing format are already fixed on your side, say so now. If they are not, that is fine, and it is worth saying that too, because a flexible week sometimes buys a better price than a firm one.
After your enquiry
The grower reads it. He answers in English or Spanish, and he answers himself, so the reply arrives at the speed of a person with an orchard to run rather than at the speed of a sales desk. Sometimes the answer is that the fruit you want is not ours to sell that week. An enquiry reserves nothing and orders nothing. It opens a conversation, and the supply terms, the payment terms and the delivery terms are all still to be agreed after it.
Form not yet available
The form on this page cannot send anything yet. Until it can, WhatsApp and email both reach the grower directly and neither of them is a queue. When the form does go live it will forward the message and keep no copy in any database behind this site.
Separate what is fixed from what you would accept
Two lines do most of the work here. One says what cannot move: a size your customer's shelf is built around, a packing format the receiving site is equipped to handle, a delivery week with a promotion behind it. The other says what you would take instead if the first line cannot be filled. Buyers leave the second line out, understandably, because it reads like bargaining against yourself. It is the opposite. A request with no alternatives gets one answer, yes or no, and a request that names its alternatives gets a conversation about the week that actually works.
Say whether this repeats. A single load and a standing weekly volume are different questions and they get different prices, because one is a sale and the other is a commitment against a tree that has not finished growing the fruit yet. If it repeats, give the frequency. If it does not, make clear whether your quantity means weight or packages, and if you are counting pallets, say which box is on them. A pallet is not a unit of fruit until somebody names the format.
Then read the answer against your own two lines before agreeing to anything. Check that the destination in the offer is the destination you gave, and that the specification quoted is the one you asked for and not the nearest thing to it. Put whatever is still open in writing. The form on this page cannot send a request yet, and its status is stated above rather than hidden.
What moves a delivered price
Any price we send belongs to a week. The week you name decides which varieties are on the tree at all, and where inside its picking window your fruit would sit. Fruit at the opening or the closing edge of a window is scarcer than fruit in the middle of it, and the market series published for Spain moves from one week to the next. Tell us when the fruit has to reach you, and whether that date can move.
Quantity moves a price through the vehicle and through the picking day. An order that fills a vehicle carries a different transport cost per kilo than one that shares the load, and a quantity worth organising a picking day around sits differently from one taken alongside another order. If your figure is an estimate, give the range you could accept.
The specification does the rest. A narrow diameter band prices differently from an open one, because the same week gives a spread of sizes and the tighter the band, the more of that spread falls outside your order. Each packing format is its own amount of work at the bench and its own count of packages on a pallet. Name the format you need, or say that you can take what we pack.
Read our price against the right reference
The market series on this website is measured at one point in the chain, fruit leaving the packing station in Spain. A delivered price also carries the packing, the pallet and the journey to your door, so the two figures answer different questions. Use the series for where the market is going and our reply for what your delivery would cost.
Some of what sits behind a price is still open. Minimum order, weekly capacity, loading lead time, the incoterm and payment terms are all awaiting confirmation from the grower, and we hold no certification today. If one of them is a condition your company cannot waive, put it in the first message. The answer then tells you whether a purchase is possible before either side spends time on fruit.
Talk to the grower
Tell us the variety, the sizes and the delivery week you need. You get a delivered price and what we can commit to in writing, from the person who picks the fruit.
The grower handles enquiries. Response times are still to be confirmed.
