Why we source from China
Kehkashan sources from China because Chinese growers operate the variety, climate and certification stack that buyers in 80 plus destinations ask for by name. Field origins are vetted by our supervisor before lot release, documented under the same trade desk a buyer sees on every other origin, and released only against an inspection report.
Flagship products from China
The flagship mix from China centres on Sesame Seeds, Onion Seeds, Okra Seeds. Variety codes are surfaced on the product page so a buyer searching Sesame Seeds self-selects a pricing tier on the first RFQ. Where multiple varieties qualify, we quote the two closest to the buyer brief and recommend a trial.
Quality standards and certifications for China lots
Lots ship under GACC export registration, CIQ inspection, CCC mark. Phytosanitary clearance is issued by GACC (General Administration of Customs of China). Where the buyer requests an ISTA-format Certificate of Analysis we reference the lot against an accredited laboratory before container release. Off-spec retests are handled at the loading port at our cost.
Logistics: China ports to Jebel Ali to destination
China ships out of Port of Shanghai, Port of Shenzhen, Ningbo-Zhoushan Port. Containers are quoted on FOB, CFR, FCA and consolidated at Jebel Ali alongside lots from other origins before onward shipment. Trans-shipment via Port of Shenzhen is used when berthing windows at Port of Shanghai slip on the original sailing.
Sample policy and quality assurance for China buyers
Sample-first is the default policy for Chinese origin lots. We courier a one to two kilogram sample with a draft Certificate of Analysis so the buyer can run a lab confirmation against Sesame Seeds before any PO. Sample fees credit against the first full container load on acceptance, and freight is invoiced at cost.
How to request a quote for China-origin products
Send an RFQ tagged China with product, variety preference and target volume. Within 24 working hours our trade desk returns a FOB quote out of Port of Shanghai, alternative origin options where supply is tighter, a draft Certificate of Analysis tied to the harvest window, and a couriered sample plan.
Variety codes and pricing tiers from China
Buyers searching Sesame Seeds by variety code self-segment into the right pricing tier. From China we map each enquiry to the closest Chinese variety on our active grower roster. Where stewardship documents apply, the lot ships only with the matching trait-licence package attached to the bill of lading and the export pack.
Multi-origin consolidation including China lots
A single PO can stack two or three China varieties into one Jebel Ali consolidation, or pair a China lot with origin-mate volumes from a neighbour country. The buyer sees one bill of lading, one Incoterm and one dispatch desk regardless of how many sub-origins fed the container during the consolidation window.
Trade finance and sanctions screening on China purchases
Settlement on China purchases is opened against our UAE Free Zone account in USD or EUR. Letters of credit are screened against UN, EU, US and UK sanctions lists before confirmation. TT advance is offered to repeat buyers after two containers have cleared without deviation, and DP terms are available on long-cycle relationships.
COA disputes and replacement policy for China lots
If destination lab results report germination below 90 percent or purity below 99 percent, we accept a counter-sample drawn under SGS or Bureau Veritas. Off- spec lots from China are replaced from a sister origin or refunded against the agreed Incoterm. Every deviation is logged on the lot card and re-cleaned before resale.
Packaging and pack-size options for China export lots
Standard packaging for China export lots is 25 kilogram PP bags or 50 kilogram jute bags depending on commodity. FIBC jumbo bags at one metric tonne are quoted on industrial-grade castor and guar. Foil pouches at 500 grams or 1 kilogram are used for vegetable-seed F1 hybrids; private-label printing is quoted on request.
Sourcing transparency and grower traceability for China
We name the Chinese grower programme on the proforma invoice and the loading-port inspection report on every China lot. Buyers requesting a farm-level traceability dossier receive harvest-block GPS coordinates, lot cleaning protocol and the laboratory chain-of-custody on request before any purchase order is confirmed.
