Egg tray distribution in Kenya

Distribute egg trays in suitable sizes and conditions.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional tray-distribution run: ten farms/egg sellers each preorder one bale of 100 new thirty-cell paper trays, so total stock is 1,000 empty trays. Confirm fit with the customers actual chicken eggs and stacking method before bulk purchase. Sell new dry packaging, not cleaned-looking used trays collected from unknown farms. Supply a bale-receipt and damage sheet that tracks supplier bundle count, rejected damp/crushed trays, dispatch bales and receiving acceptance.

Who is the first customer?

Egg retailers, farms and small distributors.
