Delivery – what is it?
Delivery, particularly in the context of Foodcom S.A.’s operations in the food, feed, and industrial sectors, refers to the process of transporting goods from one location to another to fulfill a commercial transaction. It encompasses the entire logistical journey – from the moment an order is placed until the products reach the client’s doorstep or specified destination. Ensuring timely, safe, and efficient delivery is paramount, especially in sectors like food and feed where product integrity and freshness can be critical to quality and safety standards.
Most common questions

Regular audits, inspections, and feedback mechanisms also play roles in ensuring the safety and quality of deliveries.
3. What factors influence delivery times?
Several factors can influence delivery times, including the distance between the supplier and client, the mode of transportation, customs and regulatory clearances, weather conditions, and the nature of the product (e.g., perishables may require faster transport).
