Hi Riyaad,

Now that is a request from left field that I wasn't expecting. I have shipped it interstate but not overseas.

If there is sufficient demand to get this shipment up and running I will make enquiries for you....but be prepared for the shipping costs to be high and don't get your hopes up too much as there may be exporting restrictions that make it too difficult.

Cheers
Paul

yes you will have potential import restrictions your end. You will have to contact your local ag department and see what restrictions if any are applied to producting coming into Sth Africa, it may need an import permit, a phytosanitory certificate issue by AQIS here after being treated (usually menthyl bromide or phosphine) and then inspected for the presence of other contaminates like weed seeds etc. It can be done but the quatities you would want may make it cost prohibitive given a AQIS insopection will set you back around $80 per 1/2hrs and about same for a phyto.

Growing your own white millet heads is not that difficult.

Count me in Paul, Ralph

HI Riyaad,

based on Trilobite's information it already seems to difficult and costly to be worth your while.

Might be time to turn your vegi patch into your WFM patch.


HI Ralph,

I would still enquire with your local ag department, being frozen may make it easier as some countries allow in frozen product as if it was unrestricted so long as it had been frozen at -18C for 10 days. worth an enquiry then you will know the outcome for the cost of a phone call.

Thanks Paul for putting me down if numbers are sufficient.

Hi All,

It appears there is not enough interest in the Red Pannicum green seed to place an order at this time.

For those who have informed me of their interest I will put you down for the WFM in Dec/Jan (unless you inform me you are not interested in the WFM). Based on the feedback from those who purchased the WFM in February I am confident anotehr order will be placed later in the year.

I will post details later in the year keeping everyone informed.

Cheers
Paul

Hi All,

I wanted to let everyone know that I am starting to take orders for Green Seed (WFM) due to be planted by the Lowe's this month. They expect to harvest in Dec/Jan.

So if you are interested please PM me. To help save me time and effort preference will be given to those people who order in lot's of 9 containers (1 esky). Sorry folks but there is too much work involved in taking orders for 1 or 2 containers.

At this stage I expect the cost to remain the same as last time ($20 per 2 kg container). No payment will be required until 2 weeks prior to delivery.

Cheers
Paul

Hi Paul put me down for 1 esky plus 3 container thankyou.

Cheer from Mr Tino
