Arrival Inspections are performed by trained agro-technicians. These inspections allow Amazon to resolve any problems immediately upon arrival at the cold storage facility, and to provide useful feedback to the growers. Growers can use this feedback to continuously improve their field and packing house procedures.

The Sales Team personally monitors and evaluates the product on a daily basis at the cold storage facility in conjunction with trained agro-technicians. This allows the best possible placement of fruit and minimizes costly product returns that destroy sales price averages.

The Sales Team’s personal knowledge of product condition and quality better prepares them to handle any problems for the best result for the grower.

Amazon’s large and diverse customer portfolio, that ranges from chain stores to terminal markets, allows us to find the right customer for any product whether it arrives in impeccable or distressed condition. Having access to the full range of possible homes for your product maximizes return and minimizes risk.

Amazon works to maintain a constant, up-to-date understanding of each customer’s needs and preferences through supplying product on a year-round basis. Knowledge of each customer’s specifications (conditions, sizes, varieties, FOB or Delivered, days of the week to deliver, etc) ensures the best home and the best return for your product.

Amazon uses its experience in inter- and intra-continental logistics to support growers in the selection of and negotiation with shipping lines and ports. Amazon’s expertise also ensures the most cost-effective means of transportation from the cold-storage facility to the end-user, thereby maximizing the portion of the total price returned to the grower.

Amazon selects the most cost effective cold-storage facilities in the area and has negotiated the best possible rates for its growers.
