Battery sprayers, SK5 tools, vertical towers

China origin, factory list prices, landed into Male. USB lithium sprayers that are one button. SK5 shears that survive salt air. Complete grow towers, not a kilometre of pipe. Photographs are the factories' own listing shots.

80-pod hydroponic pineapple towers growing leafy greens in a greenhouse
80-pod pineapple tower in production. Greenfuturehydro, Zhongshan. $129 to $167 FOB.

Keep the first order as three real factory invoices

BML still rations dollars by ticket size. Under $2,500 gets the best support. A single $2,614 wire is the wrong shape. Split is honest because the goods come from three factories: Yongkang / Taizhou sprayers, Yangjiang SK5 shears, Jiangsu / Guangdong towers.

Male Ports treats several bills of lading to one consignee as a full box. This trial is about 2 CBM. It must ride a co-loader LCL, not its own 20 ft.

Battery sprayers

All USB or small lithium. One button, no pumping. 3 L is the extra size to ask the 2 L factory for. Skip 16 to 20 L unless we have farm labour.
