What to look for when sourcing macadamia kernels

Product specification

A raw kernel for confectionery and a roasted kernel for a snack mix need different buying briefs. Start with the finished product and how the kernel will be processed.

Kernel style & cut

Specify whole kernels, halves, or pieces, and whether you need them raw, dry roasted, or oil roasted.

Grade & size

Agree the size grade in millimeters or count per kilogram, plus moisture and oil content. Size and count describe the kernel, but assess flavor and texture separately.

Processing state

Confirm whether the kernels are in the raw state after cracking and drying, or have received additional treatment such as roasting, oiling, or seasoning.

Quality acceptance

A grade alone is not enough to compare macadamia kernels. Agree how the sample will be assessed and how it relates to the shipment you receive.

  • Sensory assessment

    Set the expected color, flavor, and texture, and list unacceptable taints such as rancidity or staleness. Ask who assessed any quoted quality.

  • Physical checks

    Record moisture, oil content, defect limits, and the permitted percentage of broken kernels or foreign material.

  • Acceptance & claims

    Identify offer, pre-shipment, and arrival samples. Retain the approved sample and agree inspection responsibilities and claim deadlines.

Origin requirements

Go beyond the country name. A single-origin lot, a regional blend, and a flexible ingredient component require different levels of traceability.

Traceability

Request the growing region, the grower or processor, the harvest period, and the specific lot identity.

Crop & stock

Ask when the nuts were harvested and processed, where they are stored, and whether the kernels are available now or for future shipment.

Acceptable alternatives

For a repeatable ingredient, define which origins and kernel grades you can substitute without changing the intended color, flavor, or crunch.

Commercial terms

Kernels are usually quoted at a fixed price per unit of weight for a defined delivery basis. Compare the final cost on the same ex-works, FOB, or delivered terms.

Price basis
Confirm the currency, unit of weight, and whether the price covers the kernels, the packaging, and any freight or insurance included in your delivery point.
Delivery basis
State whether the price is ex-works at the processor, FOB at a named export port, or delivered to a destination warehouse or port.
Order terms
Match the pack size, shipment period, payment terms, and quote validity. Ready stock from a local warehouse differs from a future or origin shipment.

Documentation & compliance

Check documentation before committing to shipment. The evidence needs to cover the kernels you are buying, not just the supplier's business.

Shipment documents
Align lot references, weights, and entities across the invoice, packing list, transport document, and any applicable origin or phytosanitary records.
Food safety evidence
Ask for current food safety management and, where applicable, the analyses or certificates that support the shipment, such as for aflatoxin if the destination rules require it.
Destination rules
For specific markets, confirm the applicable import requirements for tree nuts, and establish what documentation you must provide to clear the shipment.

Supplier capability

A grower, cracking facility, processor, and merchant may each control a different part of the purchase. Establish who is accountable for your lot.

  • Processing

    Identify who handles cracking, drying, roasting, grading, and packing, and who resolves a sample or shipment quality failure.

  • Repeat supply

    Ask how the supplier maintains your required style and grade across harvests, and which replacement lots it can offer for the same specification.

  • Order fit

    Confirm minimum order quantities, sample provision, and packaging options. For smaller purchases, ask about standard pack sizes or consolidation with other buyers.
