Processing turns a sourced agricultural lot into a product prepared for a buyer’s specification. A disciplined workflow keeps lots identifiable while removing unwanted material and improving consistency.

Receiving and lot identification

Incoming material should be recorded and separated by lot. Initial observations guide the cleaning and grading steps and help maintain traceability through the facility.

Cleaning, grading and final checks

Equipment and methods vary by commodity, but the goal remains consistent: prepare a clean, uniform product without losing its natural character. Final checks confirm the output before approved packing begins.
