Why this lane works for lemon, satkora & citrus
Sweden buyers on this line are typically ethnic food importers, frozen seafood traders, mushroom and vegetable wholesalers. On the air route the consignment is 16-22 hours from Dhaka, which for a product with a shelf life of 21 to 30 days leaves ample selling time on arrival. Supply runs year round, so a standing weekly or fortnightly booking is straightforward to hold.
Full grading, packing and variety detail is on the Lemon, satkora & citrus product page; the entry rules and document set for every line into this country are on the Sweden market page.
