Where to Start
Two routes in, depending on whether you want method or market data.

The four decisions
What a First Order Turns On
Get these right and the rest of the process is administration.
Material
Natural for indoor grain, synthetic for exposure. It is a siting decision, not a budget one.
Supplier checks
Ask for certification, permits and an inspection record before you ask about price.
Incoterms
FOB or CIF changes who carries freight and insurance, not who does the paperwork.
Customisation
A sample approved before production is what makes a custom run safe to place.
