How the country guides are built
Each guide combines the destination's climate zones with the sowing windows reported by importers and by Kohenoor's field agronomists on customer visits, the import documents recorded by the export desk (summarised in the phytosanitary table) and the transit time from Karachi used for planning. Where a country has several climate zones, the guide gives a window for each. Sowing dates are typical and should be adjusted to local soil temperature and rainfall.
