Buyer questions
Which frozen pelagic fish sell best in Côte d'Ivoire?
Horse Mackerel (chinchard), Mackerel and Tilapia account for the largest part of the volumes we ship to Abidjan.
Do you sell less than a full container?
No. This corridor is quoted in full container loads (FCL) of approx. 26 - 28 MT net, which keeps the landed cost per kilo competitive. Mixed loads combining several items in one container are possible.
Which Incoterm applies?
Quotes default to CIF Abidjan. CFR, FOB and CPT are available if you arrange your own freight or insurance.
