Need produce expertise for a specific project?
Not every company needs a full commercial team in every market. But when you are entering a market, adding a category or evaluating an origin, you need someone who knows how the fruit trade actually works.
How Frutta Group helps
Our consulting work draws on the same knowledge we use in our own trading: product, origins, seasonality, buyers, suppliers and the commercial mechanics that connect them.
Engagements range from a single piece of research to recurring advisory and commercial representation.
Why consulting from a trading company
Our advice comes from the same daily work as our trading: talking to growers and buyers, following shipments, negotiating terms and chasing documents. That keeps recommendations practical — grounded in what the market is doing this season, not in general theory.
It also means a project can turn into action. If research identifies an opportunity, we can help source the fruit, find the buyers or represent the program.
Typical projects
Evaluating whether an origin can compete in a destination market. Identifying suppliers for a new category. Planning a first export season. Reviewing trade terms and document flow before scaling a program. Giving an investor or new entrant an independent view of a produce business or category.

How is consulting priced?
Pricing depends on scope. Projects can be quoted as a fixed fee, a retainer for recurring advisory, or tied to commercial results for representation. Tell us about the project and we will propose a structure.
Can you work on a one-off project?
Yes. One-off research, sourcing and market-entry projects are common starting points.
