Cold chain,
documented
end-to-end.

CR Farm runs four stages under one roof: farm, wash, pack, dispatch. Cold chain breaks once — when the reefer doors open at your dock. Lot-coded boxes, bundled docs, single bill of lading per container. FOB Moín / CIF Rotterdam / DDP Miami.

01 / The four stages

One company,
four hands.

Planning, washing, packing and dispatch — all on the same property, all on the same payroll. No subcontracted packer, no contract grower, no spot-market substitution. Every container leaves with the same hands at every stage.
Stage 01 · Plan

Cycle planning

Cycle calendar built backwards from buyer commitments. SKU mix, calibre, harvest week — programmed before the row is planted. We plant against orders, never against guesses.

Stage 02 · Wash

Wash & grade

Brushed-wash on our own line. Sized by calibre, parafinado for cassava, IQF for peeled-yuca. Reject lots are pulled to a separate chute and don't enter the packing room.

Stage 03 · Pack

Pack & label

Box, pallet, lot code per box. Stock spec or your private label — same line, same week. Every pallet stamped with harvest week, field, crew and SKU code. Sealed under cold.

Dispatch & document

Cold chain Muelle → Moín / Caldera, 4–5 hour reefer drive. Incoterms, phytosanitary, GLOBAL G.A.P. cert, BL — bundled and emailed before the container leaves the yard.

02 / The cold chain

From finca floor
to your dock.

One unbroken cold chain. Temperature logged every two hours from the moment the pallet leaves the plant to the moment your reefer doors open. We deliver the temperature log with the bill of lading.

One unbroken chain, six checkpoints, one temperature log emailed with the bill of lading. If the chain breaks, you know which checkpoint — before the container clears customs.

03 · Incoterms 2020

Three terms,
one preference.

We quote in any Incoterm you need. The cheapest line item is rarely the cheapest order — pick by who has the freight desk, the customs broker and the time. Three honest options below.
FOBFree on Board

You arrange the vessel.

We deliver to Moín / Caldera and load the reefer onto your vessel. From the rail, it's yours: freight, insurance, customs at destination. Cheapest line item, most paperwork on your side.

05 · Lot code anatomy

Every box, a code.

If a buyer flags a calibre issue in Rotterdam, we know which row it came from before lunch. Here's what the lot code on every CR Farm box actually means.

The lot code is stamped on every box at packing. It ties the box back to a specific harvest week, field, crew shift, SKU and pallet. Traceability isn't a slogan — it's a string.

CSVSKU codeThree-letter identifier for the product. CSV = Cassava Valencia · MIS = Island Malanga · GJB = Ginger Jumbo.
26Harvest yearTwo-digit calendar year. Always the year the root left the soil — never the year it shipped.
W21Harvest weekISO calendar week. Tells you when it was lifted, not when it was packed. Week 21 = late May.
F03Field blockInternal field code · 80 ha mapped across 8 numbered blocks. F03 = our Block 3, north-side rotation.
C07Crew shiftCrew code · seven harvest crews rotate weekly. C07 is Don Nango's veteran morning shift.

06 / Bundled documents

Six papers,
one email.

Every container leaves with the same six documents, bundled into one PDF and emailed before the truck reaches Moín. No "we'll send it on arrival" — that's not how a Vega ships.
