The first source identifies a trading participant, while the second helps establish the market's identity. Confirm the precise collection point and current hours before travelling. A historical directory does not guarantee that every named person or operating detail remains unchanged. Carriers should receive the actual recipient's details in addition to the general market contact.
Buyers should first ask about available fruit and vegetables, lot sizes and account-opening arrangements. For shop orders, net weight, maturity and the expected resale period are material considerations. Check whether goods can be inspected before purchase, who prepares the packages and whether the buyer must arrange loading assistance. Complete specifications are necessary to compare offers. A crate price without a stated weight can be of limited value, especially if the expected saleable proportion differs between grades or suppliers.
Sellers should agree in advance on the agent's interest in the intended quality and quantity. Ask about agency charges, sales reporting, payment timing and responsibility for losses. Establish what happens to goods held for another day and whether an unsold consignment can be withdrawn. Transport planning should calculate cost per kilogram actually sold, not merely the price of a vehicle journey without allowance for rejected produce. A written record of acceptance and weighing can also help reconcile the final settlement with what was dispatched.
For a real transaction, obtain a seller's offer and retain its date, unit, grade and payment terms. Converting a group average from ZAR per tonne to ZAR per kilogram does not make it an appropriate price for a chosen species.
