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