Why we source from DR Congo
Kehkashan sources from DR Congo because Congolese 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 DR Congo
The flagship mix from DR Congo centres on Sesame 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 DR Congo lots
Lots ship under SENASEM phytosanitary. Phytosanitary clearance is issued by SENASEM (Service National des Semences). 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: DR Congo ports to Jebel Ali to destination
DR Congo ships out of Port of Matadi, Port of Boma. Containers are quoted on FOB, CFR and consolidated at Jebel Ali alongside lots from other origins before onward shipment. Trans-shipment via Port of Boma is used when berthing windows at Port of Matadi slip on the original sailing.
Sample policy and quality assurance for DR Congo buyers
Sample-first is the default policy for Congolese 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 DR Congo-origin products
Send an RFQ tagged DR Congo with product, variety preference and target volume. Within 24 working hours our trade desk returns a FOB quote out of Port of Matadi, 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 DR Congo
Buyers searching Sesame Seeds by variety code self-segment into the right pricing tier. From DR Congo we map each enquiry to the closest Congolese 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 DR Congo lots
A single PO can stack two or three DR Congo varieties into one Jebel Ali consolidation, or pair a DR Congo 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 DR Congo purchases
Settlement on DR Congo 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 DR Congo 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 DR Congo 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 DR Congo export lots
Standard packaging for DR Congo 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 DR Congo
We name the Congolese grower programme on the proforma invoice and the loading-port inspection report on every DR Congo 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.
