Common Questions & Policy Clarifications
We maintain a strict Confidentiality & Non-Disclosure (NDA) standard. All internal agricultural systems, client lists, and financial projections are restricted to authorized personnel with a clear “need to know”. These obligations generally remain in effect for 5 years after our business relationship ends.
The exact scope of work and deliverables are locked in via a written contract before we begin. Any changes to a project’s scope must be requested in writing and may incur added fees. If you cancel services, any work completed up to the cancellation date remains fully payable.
Through our Due Diligence Policy, we vet all global partners for regulatory compliance, financial stability, and ethical labor practices (including a strict prohibition on child or forced labor). We also conduct periodic audits to ensure ongoing quality control.
