From incoming crop to shipment-ready preparation

A clear post-harvest workflow aligns produce intake, sorting, grading, quality checks, packing and destination requirements.

From origin to market

Every packing plan starts with the product specification.

Packing and post-harvest services are matched to the crop, buyer specification and selected facility. ENCAP confirms which steps are available directly or through a packing partner before a quotation is agreed.

The crop, buyer requirements and selected facility determine which post-harvest steps are suitable and included in the quotation.
