Professional Grading & Cold Chain Storage

Billion Business Bridge employs rigorous product grading based on uniformity, clove integrity, and moisture content, ensuring consistency crucial for international trade. Sophisticated cold chain logistics maintain garlic freshness, retaining aroma and nutritional value for over 6 months under optimal conditions (temperature 0-5°C, humidity 60-70%). These protocols reduce spoilage rates by up to 40% compared to standard warehousing.

Maintaining this cold chain advantage ensures overseas buyers receive top-grade garlic in peak condition, a key differentiator in competitive markets.
