What to look for when sourcing celery
Product specification
Celery is sold as whole stalks, trimmed hearts or cut sticks, and each form has different handling and shelf-life needs. Start with the intended use and market.
Form & variety
Specify whole stalk, hearts or cut sticks, and choose a variety such as Pascal or golden if the market requires it.
Size & grade
Agree stalk length, diameter, weight per bunch or carton, and whether you accept mixed sizes or need uniform grading.
Packaging & condition
Confirm carton type, net weight, and whether the celery is pre-cooled or field-packed. State your requirement for ice or modified atmosphere if needed.
Quality acceptance
Freshness is the core quality criterion for celery. Agree how you will assess visual and texture attributes, and how the sample relates to the delivered lot.
Visual checks
Set expectations for color, absence of blemishes, cracks, or pithiness. Specify what is unacceptable, such as yellowing or insect damage.
Texture & freshness
Agree on crispness, turgidity, and absence of wilting or decay. Define how you will test these at arrival, such as by bending a stalk.
Acceptance & claims
Retain an approved sample from the offer and compare it to the shipment. Agree on inspection timing and claim deadlines for quality failures.
Origin requirements
Celery is seasonal and perishable, so origin affects availability and transit time. Define preferred regions and harvest windows to match your supply calendar.
Seasonality
Ask for the harvest period and confirm the shipment window. Understand how season end affects quality and availability.
Traceability
Request the farm or growing region, field lot or packing date. This helps you link a specific shipment to its source.
Acceptable alternatives
If your primary origin is unavailable, define which other origins or varieties you can accept without changing the product's intended use.
Commercial terms
Celery offers can vary by price per carton, packaging, and delivery terms. Compare the final cost on the same unit and logistics basis.
- Price basis
- Confirm whether the price is per carton, per kilogram, or per bunch, and state the currency. Include any packing or cold chain charges.
- Delivery terms
- Specify FOB at a named port, CIF at destination, or ex-warehouse. Align who manages cold storage and transport during transit.
- Order terms
- Match minimum order size, lead time, payment terms, and quote validity. Fresh produce requires a shorter validity window than stored goods.
Documentation & compliance
Fresh celery requires phytosanitary and possibly origin documentation. Check what is needed for your destination before committing to a shipment.
- Shipment documents
- Align lot references, weights and entities across the invoice, packing list, phytosanitary certificate and transport documents.
- Certification
- For organic or other scheme-certified celery, check the current scope and any transaction or chain-of-custody evidence required for the lot.
- Destination rules
- Confirm import requirements for your country, such as pesticide residue limits, labeling, or specific phytosanitary declarations.
Supplier capability
A grower, packer or exporter may control different parts of the celery supply chain. Establish who is accountable for quality and cold chain from field to your door.
Handling & cold chain
Identify who washes, trims, packs, and stores the celery, and who maintains temperature during transit. Ask about their cold chain procedures.
Repeat supply
Ask about seasonal availability and how the supplier manages volume across harvest windows. Understand if they can meet your regular demand.
Order fit
Confirm minimum quantities, sample provision, and export documentation support. For smaller orders, ask about consolidation with other produce.
