What to look for when sourcing clementine
Product specification
A premium easy-peeler for gift packs and a bulk fruit for processing need different buying briefs. Start with the intended use and retail presentation.
Type & variety
Specify whether you require standard clementines, a seedless type, or a specific variety. Confirm the harvest season and whether the fruit is from the early, mid, or late crop.
Size & grade
Agree on the count size (pieces per carton), diameter range, and external grade. Define permitted blemishes, color, and firmness.
Packing format
Confirm the carton type, net weight, and arrangement. Decide if you need consumer packs, bulk cartons, or specific labeling.
Quality acceptance
A visual spec alone is not enough to compare fruit. Agree how the sample will be evaluated and how it relates to the shipment.
Appearance & condition
Set limits for blemishes, color, and uniformity. Check for firmness, presence of stems, and freedom from decay.
Eating quality
Taste for sweetness, acidity, and ease of peeling. Ensure the fruit is not dry or overly puffy.
Acceptance & claims
Identify offer, pre-shipment, and arrival samples. Retain an approved sample and agree on inspection at loading and upon arrival, plus claim timeframes.
Origin requirements
Origin affects season, flavor, and shipping time. Clarify which origins are acceptable and what traceability you need for each.
Preferred origins
List the countries or regions you prefer based on seasonality and import windows. Ask which origins can supply during your required shipping period.
Temperate vs. Mediterranean
Confirm the climate and growing conditions for the origin. This can influence taste, peel quality, and storage potential.
Acceptable alternatives
Define which substitute origins you will accept if the preferred origin faces a short crop or shipping disruption, and what quality criteria they must meet.
Commercial terms
Clementine prices vary by size, grade, packing, and delivery point. Compare offers on the same basis of pack and incoterm.
- Pricing unit
- Confirm whether the price is per carton, per kilogram, or per other defined unit. Include the pack size and grade that the price covers.
- Delivery point
- Specify whether the offer is FOB at a named port, CIF at destination, or delivered to your warehouse. Align freight, insurance, and local charges.
- Order terms
- Match shipment period, payment terms, and order validity. For future contracts, clarify the pricing adjustment for actual pack size at loading.
Documentation & compliance
Check documentation before committing to shipment. The evidence needs to cover the specific fruit you are buying, not just the supplier's business.
- Shipment documents
- Align lot references, weights, and entities across the invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and phytosanitary certificate.
- Origin & traceability
- Request orchard or grower identification, packing house records, and the lot code. Confirm the origin details match your contract and labels.
- Destination rules
- Determine the plant-health, pesticide residue, and labeling requirements for your destination market. For the EU, check any due-diligence obligations for deforestation-free supply chains.
Supplier capability
A grower, packing house, exporter, and importer may each control a different part of the purchase. Establish who is accountable for your fruit.
Packing & cold chain
Identify who handles washing, grading, packing, and cold storage. Ask about their facilities and ability to maintain temperature throughout the supply chain.
Season & volume
Ask how many cartons they can supply per week and during which weeks. For repeat programs, confirm how they handle peak and late-season quality changes.
Order fit
Confirm minimum order size, sample provision, and export support. For smaller or urgent orders, check if they can provide consolidated or destination stock.
