Fresh basil export from Kenya — frequently asked questions
- What is the minimum order for fresh basil from Kenya?
- We start from one carton per format and consolidate basil with your other herb, flower or chilli lines into a single air freight consignment.
- Can you pack basil under our own retail label?
- Yes. We pack punnets and flow-wrapped packs to your artwork, weights and barcode requirements for supermarket programmes.
- How is basil kept fresh in transit?
- Basil is chilled-sensitive, so we hold it at 8–12°C rather than colder, cool it within hours of cutting and fly it out the same night.
