Warehouse Quality Grades Explained

The warehouse uses a grading system to certify the quality of stored commodities. Here's what each grade means:

  • Grade A: Optimal, fresh, undamaged, fully compliant. Suitable for premium sale or immediate use.
  • Grade B: Minor flaws, still good quality. May have slight imperfections but remains usable for standard sale or processing.
  • Grade C: Major flaws, lowest acceptable quality. Suitable for discount sale, animal feed, or processing only.

The Quality Check process allows you to request an inspection of your stored items. After inspection, your commodity's grade may be updated to reflect its current condition.

How to Trade on the Platform
  1. Browse the Market: View available commodities, prices, quantities, and quality grades.

    • To Sell: Place an offer specifying commodity, quantity, price, and quality.
  3. Trade Matching: The system matches compatible bids and offers. When a match is found, a trade is created.
  4. Payment: The buyer pays through the platform's payment system.
  5. Delivery & Confirmation: The seller delivers the commodity. The buyer confirms receipt.
  6. Completion: Once payment and delivery are confirmed, the trade is marked as completed.
