Each batch moves through defined checkpoints: harvest intake and identity capture, preliminary cleaning and sorting, controlled drying or processing, grading against specification, microbiological and physicochemical testing where applicable, and finally packaging in food\u2011grade, moisture\u2011barrier materials. Documentation at every stage keeps the chain of custody intact.<\/p><p><br><\/p><p><strong>Batch Coding System<\/strong><\/p><p>Every pack carries a unique lot code that links directly to its data record: farm group, harvest date, product specification, processing facility, QA results, and shipment details.
