CONTAINER SHIPPING SERVICES

Container Shipping Services for Seed & Agricultural Cargo

FCL, LCL, reefer and ventilated containers booked across global carriers — sized to your volume, your destination and your planting window.

Direct answer

Do you book FCL and LCL?

Both. FCL for full container loads, LCL for smaller volumes consolidated at our origin hubs — with clear cost trade-offs presented before booking. Yes. Temperature-controlled reefer containers and ventilated (vented) containers are arranged for treated seed, hybrid and humidity-sensitive cargo on all major carriers.

Logistics is arranged through SeedMatchGroup's freight, customs and cold-chain partners. Supplier identities are never disclosed to buyers; all communication flows through SeedMatchGroup.

Container choice quietly determines whether seed arrives viable: ventilated containers for moisture management, reefers for temperature control and dry boxes for stable bulk goods. We make the call based on lot, lane and season — not on what is cheapest that week.

Global carrier contracts give access to fixed allocations on tight lanes, so peak-season space is available when small buyers get rolled.
