Importers ask
Do tappers get paid per record?
Tappers are paid by the village kiln, which uses our log to settle the sap they brought in.
Can a buyer see tapper names?
No. Buyers see village names and batch codes only.
Is the moisture reading checked?
The kiln enters it, and a buyer can request a sample test against the logged figure.
