Latvian Peat to Spain: 6 Trucks for Agricultural Export
A Latvian peat producer secured a contract with a Spanish agricultural distributor. 6 full truckloads of peat substrate - 3,200 km from Latvian bogs to Spanish greenhouses. Phytosanitary certificates required for plant substrate crossing EU borders.
What happened
Peat is a bulky, lightweight product - trucks fill by volume before reaching weight limits. 6 trucks needed to cover 3,200 km through Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, France, and Spain. Phytosanitary inspections possible at any border.
What made it difficult
- 13,200 km - one of the longest EU road routes
- 2Phytosanitary certificates required - plant substrate regulations
- 36 trucks coordinated for staggered delivery over 1 week
- 4Summer heat in Spain - peat must not dry out excessively
- 5Volume cargo - tarpaulin integrity critical to prevent moisture loss
How we handled it
Phytosanitary certificates obtained from Latvian State Plant Protection Service before departure. 6 trucks departed staggered over 3 days - 2 per day. Route optimized via German and French motorways. Tarpaulins inspected before each departure to ensure moisture retention. All 6 arrived in the Murcia region of Spain within the delivery week. Spanish buyer confirmed full acceptance - no phytosanitary issues at any border.
