Ask for the batch code before you take the bag

Every Manganga pouch carries a batch code that traces back to the field it was grown on and the lab sheet for that lot. If a dealer cannot show you the code, or the ink looks added later, treat it as unlabelled seed.

When germination disappoints, the code is what we need. We keep a reference sample from each batch for the season. Without the code, we are guessing which lot you planted — and guessing is how arguments start.

For exporters, the same code sits behind phytosanitary paperwork. Share the destination country when you enquire so we know which certificates the lot can support.

Write the code in your field book the day the bag is opened. Pouches get reused. Memory does not survive a season.
