Our commercial model

An independent broker. Direct, transparent relationships

GEMATE identifies opportunities, introduces suitable suppliers and supports commercial and technical coordination. We do not buy, hold inventory or resell fruit; supply contracts, invoicing and transactions are agreed directly between buyer and processor.

Our value lies in origin selection, continuity of communication and responsible follow-through on each program.

GEMATE Foods combines long-standing international frozen-fruit experience with direct relationships in Chile. Regular contact with fields and processing partners helps us understand each program, follow technical and commercial details, and communicate clearly with buyers.

Quality & compliance

Trust should be supported by evidence

Certifications are verified for each facility, program, product and market. EU organic, USDA NOP or conventional status is not assumed merely because a supplier belongs to our network.

GEMATE can coordinate traceability, approved specifications, certificates of analysis and pre-shipment checks, as agreed commercially.

Pre-shipment inspection: clearly defined scope

  • Agreed sampling
  • Visible integrity and defects
  • Labelling and packaging
  • Lot identification
  • Representative photographs

Does not replace preventive controls, microbiological testing, certification or processor regulatory obligations.
