How Packing COGS is split between buyers
Packing service & inbound transport are split by kg share within each batch — so if GH took 80% of the kg in a batch, they bear 80% of those costs.
Packaging material is split by box count.
Bin return is split by bin count.
How Transport & Handling Costs are attributed
Transport COGS (outbound transport Vintage → GH) goes 100% to the GH shipment — it only exists because of the GH export.
Handling Costs (warehousing, sorting, QC, etc.) go 100% to the GH shipment. Local Vintage handling/repackaging goes 100% to the local shipment.
What Farm Gate means
Net proceeds received by Atlantrees after all variable selling costs. It is not gross profit — fixed farm costs (irrigation, labour, depreciation) are separate and not included in this P&L view.
