Why storage and shelf life matters on the Galex 5
Cool, dry and dark storage preserves flavour stability over the stated shelf life.
Seasonality interacts with storage and shelf life more than most forecasts allow for, so a rolling review beats an annual one.
First in first out rotation prevents older batches ageing on the shelf.

Payment history is the single most reliable route to better terms, more than total annual volume.
Volume commitments work best when they are structured as a rolling target rather than a single fixed number.

|---|---|---|
| Carton (168 units) | Tier 1 | 30-45 days |
| Pallet (1481 units) | Tier 2 | 14-21 days |
| Container (14647 units) | Tier 3 | 7-12 days |
