What buyers ask

Trade notes
  • Retort means no refrigeration anywhere in the chain — a real advantage for markets with weak cold storage.
  • Cans travel well by sea; pouches are lighter and cheaper to freight but need sturdier shipper cartons.
  • EU buyers: our establishment registration covers sterilised pet food, which is exactly this category.
