Why we source from New Zealand
Kehkashan sources from New Zealand because New Zealand 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 New Zealand
The flagship mix from New Zealand centres on White Clover Seeds, Red Clover Seeds. Variety codes are surfaced on the product page so a buyer searching White Clover 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 New Zealand lots
Lots ship under MPI phytosanitary, OECD seed scheme, AsureQuality seed cert. Phytosanitary clearance is issued by MPI (Ministry for Primary Industries). 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: New Zealand ports to Jebel Ali to destination
New Zealand ships out of Port of Tauranga, Ports of Auckland, Port of Lyttelton. Containers are quoted on FOB, FCA and consolidated at Jebel Ali alongside lots from other origins before onward shipment. Trans-shipment via Ports of Auckland is used when berthing windows at Port of Tauranga slip on the original sailing.
Sample policy and quality assurance for New Zealand buyers
Sample-first is the default policy for New Zealand 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 White Clover 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 New Zealand-origin products
Send an RFQ tagged New Zealand with product, variety preference and target volume. Within 24 working hours our trade desk returns a FOB quote out of Port of Tauranga, 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 New Zealand
Buyers searching White Clover Seeds by variety code self-segment into the right pricing tier. From New Zealand we map each enquiry to the closest New Zealand 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 New Zealand lots
A single PO can stack two or three New Zealand varieties into one Jebel Ali consolidation, or pair a New Zealand 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 New Zealand purchases
Settlement on New Zealand 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 New Zealand 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 New Zealand 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 New Zealand export lots
Standard packaging for New Zealand 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 New Zealand
We name the New Zealand grower programme on the proforma invoice and the loading-port inspection report on every New Zealand 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.
