Our team of professionals has developed an expertise in supplying live plants of all sizes, starting with starter cultures (in-vitro plants) to jumbo plug plants (hardened plants) grown in sterile soil-free medium. At AKF, we follow protocol carefully keeping several key aspects in mind.

Grading and Packing:

We endeavor to supply the best quality tissue culture plants, which are carefully graded by size, number of leaves etc. We select for the most optimum grade of plants for export, operating in cool, sterile packing rooms.

Shipping and Labeling:

AKF Plant Sciences uses a variety of packing material which varies with type of plant, transit time till the customer and regulations specified by the importing countries’ phytosanitary departments. In general, we use insulated boxes that are temperature controlled to keep products at a stable temperature throughout the transit chain. These boxes are clearly marked with labels stating "perishables" and "live plants" along with standard labels.

Clearing and Documentation:

AKF transports plants via air cargo and works with experienced clearing agents. Our in-house export department handles all of the paperwork required to ensure a smooth shipping process and coordinates with the consignor's agents as well.
