Why we source from Saudi Arabia

Kehkashan sources from Saudi Arabia because Saudi 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 Saudi Arabia

The flagship mix from Saudi Arabia centres on Alfalfa (Lucerne) Seeds, Dried Rose Flowers & Petals. Variety codes are surfaced on the product page so a buyer searching Alfalfa (Lucerne) 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 Saudi Arabia lots

Lots ship under MEWA phytosanitary, SASO conformity, ISTA. Phytosanitary clearance is issued by Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture (MEWA). 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: Saudi Arabia ports to Jebel Ali to destination

Saudi Arabia ships out of Jeddah Islamic Port, King Abdulaziz Port (Dammam). Containers are quoted on FOB, CFR, FCA and consolidated at Jebel Ali alongside lots from other origins before onward shipment. Trans-shipment via King Abdulaziz Port (Dammam) is used when berthing windows at Jeddah Islamic Port slip on the original sailing.

Sample policy and quality assurance for Saudi Arabia buyers

Sample-first is the default policy for Saudi 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 Alfalfa (Lucerne) 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 Saudi Arabia-origin products

Send an RFQ tagged Saudi Arabia with product, variety preference and target volume. Within 24 working hours our trade desk returns a FOB quote out of Jeddah Islamic Port, 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 Saudi Arabia

Buyers searching Alfalfa (Lucerne) Seeds by variety code self-segment into the right pricing tier. From Saudi Arabia we map each enquiry to the closest Saudi 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 Saudi Arabia lots

A single PO can stack two or three Saudi Arabia varieties into one Jebel Ali consolidation, or pair a Saudi Arabia 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 Saudi Arabia purchases

Settlement on Saudi Arabia 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 Saudi Arabia 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 Saudi Arabia 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 Saudi Arabia export lots

Standard packaging for Saudi Arabia 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 Saudi Arabia

We name the Saudi grower programme on the proforma invoice and the loading-port inspection report on every Saudi Arabia 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.
