Date: 17 September 2024
The Mid-Autumn Festival is traditionally linked to the harvest season, when fresh fruits and vegetables are in abundance. For Garrets, this period highlights the importance of strategic procurement, ensuring that vessels worldwide receive fresh produce and provisions. While the festival celebrates the harvest, Garrets ensures that high-quality ingredients are available to crews throughout the year, aligning procurement with the natural cycles of produce availability.
As the harvest season brings a variety of fruits and vegetables to peak quality, Garrets takes advantage of this natural abundance to source the freshest produce at optimal prices. By leveraging our global network of accredited suppliers and benchmarking local markets at each port, we ensure that vessels have access to the high-quality seasonal produce. This approach not only guarantees better product yields but also allows for efficient budgeting, ensuring maximum value for our customers.
With Gateway, our digital ordering and stock management platform, cooks can easily manage their orders and maintain full transparency on stock levels. By providing data-driven insights and intelligent recommendations, Gateway helps streamline procurement, ensuring that vessels always receive the right products at the right time, regardless of the season.
At Garrets, we take pride in procuring carefully, so our customers can count on receiving fresh, safe and high-quality products for their vessels, no matter the time of year.
