How Storehouses Work
A verified supply network connecting suppliers to active markets.
Storehouses are verified inventory locations where suppliers place goods and buyers transact against real stock. Each storehouse operates as a commodity-specific facility at the Dubai Warehouse or Origin-held.
Inventory exists before it is sold. Buyers transact against verified, physical stock.
Avrica verifies and operates market cordination.
Ownership of goods remains with the supplier.
Some commodities particularly fresh produce such as avocados, bananas, and citrus — may be held at verified supplier warehouses in the source country rather than in Dubai. These lots undergo the same Avrica verification process and carry equivalent trust standards.

Clarifications
Who owns the goods?
The supplier retains ownership until a sale is completed.
When does payment occur?
Payment terms and arrangements are solely between the buyer and the seller.
Can multiple buyers purchase from one lot?
Yes. Lots can be partially sold if the supplier enables partial release.
Are prices fixed or flexible?
Suppliers set prices. Some lots allow negotiation or bidding; others are fixed.
How is quality assured?
All inventory is required to submit industry standard certifications and in some instances, samples. Lots that do not meet standards are not listed. Suppliers that receive negative reviews become unverified.
Are all goods physically in Dubai?
Most commodities are stocked within Dubai Warehouses. However, fresh produce — such as avocados, bananas, and citrus may remain at verified supplier warehouses in the source country. These origin-held lots are inspected and verified to the same standard.
