Reefer trucks and containers loaded at six points across Morocco, across the Strait via Tanger Med or Nador and delivered to 15 European markets. One partner, one landed price and one invoice per truck.
→ Start with 1 palletThe cold chain, from the field to your market
Every step is planned around the product’s temperature, so fruit and vegetables arrive with the shelf life you paid for.
Harvest to order
Picked at partner farms in Souss-Massa and five other Moroccan regions for the departure you booked.
Pre-cooling
Packed to your specification and brought to transport temperature at the packhouse before loading.
Quality control
Our inspectors check every pallet and send photos and a report before the truck leaves.
Two temperature lanes
Cold lane 0–4 °C for berries and green beans, cool lane 7–13 °C for fruiting vegetables, citrus, avocado and melon. Ethylene-producing fruit is kept apart.
Strait crossing
Reefers cross from Tanger Med to Algeciras or from Nador to Almería, with a temperature logger in every trailer.
Delivery or cross-dock
Straight to your warehouse or wholesale market, or redistributed through partner platforms in Spain and France.

Where the produce comes from: growing zones in Morocco
Agadir, in the Souss-Massa, is our main loading point. Marrakech, Casablanca, Kénitra, Larache and Berkane serve the other growing regions. Zones on the map are approximate.
The right cold for every product
Berries and beans never travel at tomato temperature. We build each truck around compatible temperatures and keep ethylene-producing fruit apart from sensitive vegetables.
Cold lane
Berries and green beans, loaded straight from pre-cooling.
Cool lane
Fruiting vegetables, citrus, avocados and melons.
