1. Product Scope & Physical Purity Specification
TKT Foods supplies clean, dehydrated agricultural commodities processed exclusively inside enclosed UV-stabilized parabolic solar tunnel dryers on food-grade stainless-steel mesh trays:
- Solar-Dried Red Pepper (Habanero, Scotch Bonnet / Ata Rodo, Shombo): Dehydrated below 10.0% moisture content (MC), whole or crushed per buyer specification, with 0.0% roadside sand, stones, or foreign mineral grit.
- Solar-Dried Sliced Green Okra (Dry Okro): Freshly washed and uniformly sliced green okra dehydrated below 9.0% moisture content, retaining natural chlorophyll green colour and mucilage viscosity.
- Contract-Dried Specialty Crops: Seasonal sliced Roma tomatoes, yam chips, ginger, and culinary botanicals dried to agreed pro-forma specifications.
2. Quotations, Minimum Orders & Pro-Forma Invoicing
Website price calculators provide live indicative wholesale estimates based on current harvest and solar tunnel batch schedules. Binding pricing, batch allocation, and dispatch dates are confirmed upon issuance of a formal TKT Foods Pro-Forma Invoice (valid for 5 business days unless stated otherwise).
Standard wholesale Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) is 25 kg (one lined commercial sack), with commercial Evaluation Samples (250g) available prior to bulk commitment.
3. Packaging & Batch Traceability
All bulk commodities are packed in hermetically sealed food-grade high-density polyethylene (HDPE) inner moisture-barrier liners enclosed within durable woven polypropylene outer sacks (25 kg net weight standard, or custom export weights by agreement). Each sack carries a batch code referencing harvest corridor, tunnel unit, drying completion date, and pre-dispatch digital moisture reading.
4. Payment Terms & Reservation Deposits
For spot inventory batches, dispatch is scheduled upon confirmation of cleared payment to the designated TKT Foods corporate account specified on the Pro-Forma Invoice. For forward-booked harvest batches or custom crushed/milled specifications, a 60% batch reservation deposit initiates processing, with the 40% balance payable prior to Ex-Works release or carrier waybill issuance.
5. Logistics, Delivery & Risk Transfer
- Ex-Works (Niger State Dryer / Minna Desk): Title and transit risk pass to the buyer or buyer's nominated haulage carrier upon signed loading tally at our facility.
- Domestic Hub Delivery (Abuja, Kano, Lagos): Coordinated via vetted inter-state agro-logistics partners. Waybill tracking and driver contact details are shared immediately upon dispatch.
- Export FOB Lagos Port: Export orders are prepared to destination phytosanitary and moisture standards; export documentation, NAFDAC/NEPC/Quarantine inspection fees, and freight forwarding responsibilities are itemized transparently on the export contract.
6. 48-Hour Quality Inspection & Remedy Window
Commercial buyers have 48 hours from receipt (or Ex-Works collection) to inspect seal integrity, physical purity, and moisture levels against the agreed Pro-Forma specification. Should any unopened or properly stored sack fail to meet TKT Foods' moisture or zero-grit standard, TKT Foods will replace the non-conforming batch or issue a pro-rata credit/refund promptly upon verification.
