What to look for when sourcing canary seed

Product specification

Canary seed is sold as raw or cleaned and graded. Start with the intended end use and processing stage.

Use and grade

Specify whether it is for bird feed or human consumption, and the required cleaning level such as raw, cleaned or milled.

Physical quality

Agree moisture, foreign matter, broken kernels and other impurity limits that suit your quality needs.

Packaging

Confirm whether you need bulk, big bags or smaller bags, and the loading or unloading method.

Quality acceptance

Quality is judged by physical inspection and lab analysis. Agree how samples are taken and assessed.

  • Sampling

    Set the sampling method and sample size for the lot so the sample represents the bulk.

  • Lab analysis

    Agree tests for moisture, impurities, germination and any other parameters relevant to your use.

  • Acceptance criteria

    Define acceptable limits and how you will handle rejected lots or quality claims.

Origin requirements

Origin affects supply season and typical quality characteristics. Consider traceability and availability.

Traceability

Request the growing region, farm or cooperative, harvest year and lot identity.

Stock position

Ask where the seed is stored, when it was harvested and whether it is available now or for future shipment.

Acceptable alternatives

Define which origins or varieties you can substitute without changing the performance you need.

Commercial terms

Compare offers on the same basis: cleaning level, quantity and delivery terms.

Price basis
Confirm price per tonne, currency and whether it includes cleaning and packaging.
Delivery terms
Specify the incoterms, delivery point and who covers freight and insurance.
Payment and timing
Agree payment terms, shipment period and quote validity. Ask how storage or processing capacity affects delivery.

Documentation & compliance

Check documentation for traceability and compliance with destination rules. The evidence must cover the seed you are buying.

Shipment documents
Align lot references, weights and entities across the invoice, packing list and transport documents.
Phytosanitary and origin
Confirm the phytosanitary certificate and any required origin documentation. For food use, ask about residue compliance.
Destination rules
Establish import requirements for your country, including any due diligence obligations for food or feed.

Supplier capability

Establish who is responsible for cleaning, grading, storage and shipment. That determines who answers quality problems.

  • Processing capability

    Identify who cleans and grades, and whether they can meet your spec consistently across volumes.

  • Storage and handling

    Confirm storage conditions and how the seed is protected from moisture, pests and contamination.

  • Order fit

    Check minimum order size, sample provision and ability to handle logistics. For small orders, ask about consolidation.
