Explanation of Solution

Under the concept of Condition in Contract, the performance of some task is made mandatory by the parties before discharging their obligations. If these conditions are not fulfilled, the parties are not obligated to perform their part of the contract.

In the given case, the inspection of the crop by an independent auditor and the certification of its fitness is a condition precedent to the performance of the contract. If the crop of S.F. does not pass the residue test, V.F. can deny the performance of its part on the basis of non-fulfilment of the condition in the contract.
