Smooth Cayenne Pineapples: common questions
Is smooth cayenne pineapples available now?
Smooth Cayenne Pineapples is part of our established range. Availability depends on season and partner capacity, so volumes and timing are confirmed in writing for each enquiry.
What information should I include in a quote request?
Variety or grade, quantity and unit, packaging, destination, preferred Incoterm and shipping window, plus any documents or tests you need.
Can you supply fresh fruit all year?
Some lines are available for much of the year thanks to Uganda's two rainy seasons; others are seasonal. We confirm realistic windows for each enquiry.
Do you ship by air or sea?
Both. Highly perishable fruit usually travels by air; hardier fruit can travel in reefer containers when timing allows.
