❄️ Quality Guaranteed

The Cold Never
Breaks. Ever.

From the moment produce leaves the field to the moment it arrives at your warehouse — every hour, every degree, every hand-off is logged, verified, and documented.

Our Process

Step-by-Step: Farm to Your Warehouse

Six stages, zero compromises. Every stage is documented and available to our partners on request.

01
Farm Level

Certified Harvest

All produce is harvested from GlobalG.A.P.-audited farms under agronomist supervision. Harvest timing is calibrated for optimal maturity, sugar content, and firmness at destination.

  • Pre-harvest residue testing by accredited laboratory
  • Harvest team hygiene protocols enforced on every plot
  • Field record: farm ID, plot number, harvest date, picker team

Pack-House

Pre-Cooling & Grading

Produce arrives at our HACCP-certified pack-house within 4 hours of harvest. Forced-air pre-cooling reduces pulp temperature to storage specification before grading begins.

  • Forced-air pre-cooling: 0–4°C within 90 minutes
  • Electronic size and weight grading for consistency
  • Visual inspection and rejection of any off-spec units

Packing

Packing & Labelling

Graded produce is packed in ventilated export cartons or retail packaging to your specification. Every carton receives a traceable lot label with harvest date, farm ID, grader code, and calibre.

  • Ventilated carton design maintains airflow in reefer
  • Private label or standard MegaExport branding
  • GS1 barcode traceability on every packing unit

Cold Storage

Controlled Atmosphere Storage

Packed pallets are held in our controlled-atmosphere cold store pending container loading. Temperature, humidity and CO₂ levels are monitored continuously and logged every 15 minutes.

  • Capacity: 800 pallets across 4 chambers
  • Temperature range: -1°C to +12°C (product dependent)
  • 24/7 alarm system with remote monitoring

Export

Reefer Container Loading & Documentation

Containers are pre-cooled to target temperature before stuffing. Loading takes place in our refrigerated dock — the cold never breaks between store and container.

  • Container pre-cool verified before loading commences
  • Full documents: phytosanitary, certificate of origin, packing list, commercial invoice
  • Temperature data logger installed in container for voyage monitoring

Destination

Arrival at Your Warehouse

On vessel arrival, we share the complete voyage temperature log. Any deviation from spec during transit is flagged before you accept the container — protecting you from claims and disputes downstream.

  • Voyage temperature log shared within 24h of vessel arrival
  • Residue test certificates sent with shipping documents
  • Account manager available for any arrival queries

Quality Control

Six Quality Checkpoints

Quality is not a final inspection — it is embedded at every stage of the supply chain.

🧪

Pre-Harvest Residue Testing

Independent laboratory residue analysis on all lots prior to harvest. Results issued before picking begins — not after.

📏

Calibre & Weight Grading

Electronic optical grading lines sort to ±2mm and ±5g — ensuring size consistency that meets retail planogram requirements.

🎨

Colour & Visual Inspection

Manual visual inspection removes any units with skin blemishes, pressure marks, or off-colour — every carton opened at random for QC.

🌡️

Pulp Temperature Check

Pulp temperature measured on 10% of all pallets before container stuffing. Any lot above spec is returned to cold store.

📦

Packing Integrity Check

Carton weight, ventilation gap, and packing density verified by QC supervisor before pallet is wrapped and labelled for export.

📄

Document Compliance Review

All export documents checked against regulatory requirements for the destination market — EU, Gulf, US — before container is sealed.

Our Certifications

Independently Verified Standards

Every certification is current, independently audited, and available to our partners on request.

🌿

GlobalG.A.P.

Good Agricultural Practice — farm-level audit covering food safety, environment, worker welfare and traceability.

🔬

HACCP

Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points — systematic food safety process applied at every handling and packing step.

🏆

ISO 22000

International food safety management — integrated across pack-house operations and third-party audited annually.

🇺🇸

FDA Registered

US Food & Drug Administration facility registration — required for all produce entering the United States market.

Full Traceability

Every Lot. Every Step. Documented.

Our digital traceability system links every carton back to the field it was harvested from — giving you the audit trail your retail customers and regulators require.

Traceability documentation is available to all MegaExport partners as a standard part of every shipment — at no additional cost.
