What should buyers specify?

Use these points to frame an enquiry. They are questions for your specific lot, not claims that a current lot or test result has been verified.

01

Common forms to specify

  • Dry whole shelled cowpea, with commercial type agreed.
  • Split or milled cowpea for a specified application.

03

Quality checks to agree

Pack, protect & present

Handling shaped around the order.

Keep dry seed clean and protected from moisture, insects and rodents.

Agree clean, sturdy sacks or containers for dry product and define lot labels and transport conditions. Fresh forms require separate maturity, pack and time/temperature arrangements; no cold-chain route is asserted.

Product-specific careThe product form determines storage and handling requirements; confirm them before the order is accepted.
